Last September 17, 2008, the Freedom of Religious Expression in the Home
Act was first introduced to the 110th U.S. Congress House Committee
on the Judiciary. It is H.R. 6932. This bill seeks to amend the Fair Housing Act
relating to the display of religious symbols, and for other purposes.

This bill never became law. Sessions of Congress last two years, and at the
end of each session all proposed bills and resolutions that haven't passed
are cleared from the books. Members often reintroduce bills that did not
come up for debate under a new number in the next session.

Recently, U.S. Representative Jerrold Nadler (D.-N.Y.), Robert
Wexler (D.-FL),Trent Franks (R-AZ), and Lamar Smith (R-TX) reintroduced
this bill to allow apartment and condo dwellers to display mezuzahs on
their doorposts.

So, September 9th this year will be: 09-09-09. Palm
Beach County Clerk's Office is offering a special deal to couples who want to tie
the knot on that date. The usual cost for marriage license and ceremony in the "matrimonial room" is about $150. But, here's the deal:

The Sensible Start Wedding package, which includes a marriage license, ceremony in a "decorated" matrimonial room, and a photo, will only cost
$99.99. This rate applies from September 1st UNTIL September 9, 2009.
Good luck!

For the second year in a row, thousands of parents have voted to award
the Schoolhouse Children’s Museum in Boynton Beach as the Best Museum
in South Florida . With their big, colorful, hands-on exhibits and a full
schedule of activities for children of all ages, it’s not hard to see why the
Museum brings families from across the state to Boynton Beach : they make
learning fun for everyone! The Museum’s theme is Florida ’s history, so while
children play with the life-sized cow or giant steam engine, they’re learning
about fundamental parts of our state’s past. Even better, the Museum is
a great place for families to learn together. As Barbara from Highland
Beach writes on parentsconnect.com, “This is the place for imaginations to
soar and for extra special sharing with kids or grandkids.”

The Schoolhouse Children’s Museum & Learning Center makes Florida’s history
come alive for children and families though hands-on activities and interactive
play. A 501(c)3 organization, the Museum is located in Boynton Beach ,
in a 1913 schoolhouse listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
