Looking for volunteers

Hi,all,

Fancy running a programme item or two?

We are looking for volunteers to run a number of programme items. If you meet one or more of the following requirements, we are very happy to hear about them at programme@dwcon.org.

Have guitar, will travel

We have two sing-along items planned (one of them aimed specifically at kids). Unfortunately, one organizer had to leave for some personal reasons, so we need one or two people. We are happy to discuss what we had in mind, but this can be run in any way you want.

Have questions, can point

We have two panels(专家咨询组)for this year: panel on writing and panel on story archetypes(原型).

We are looking for two volunteers to run these panels as chair. The main responsibility will be to point at people with questions, and have a few questions /remarks(评述)ready in case the audience has no ideas yet. Or if you always want to know something of course.

Play recorder

On Friday evening we will have a karaoke-like programme item, and we are looking for one or two volunteers to act as “DJ”. Music and equipment will be provided, so we mostly expect you to keep track of whose turn it is to sing

Have eyes for colour

Guess what, this is a paint-related item. We would like to make “rock puppets(木偶),and we need one or two volunteers to guide that. Paint and rocks will be provided.

8.Author Gwen Cooper traveled to animal shelters and rescue groups from May through September,donating supplies and talking to people about her new book,Love Saves the Day.She plans to finish the tour by December,and by then will have donated more than 40,000worthofproductstosheltersandraised5,000 more to help them.
A big part of what she does is a tour of animal shelters instead of bookstores.And a lot of what she does is letting people know of rescue organizations,the work they do and the kinds of animals they work with.Also because her last book is about her cat Homer,who is blind,there is a lot of work that she does with special and disabled animals.
Ever since she was a little girl,she had a passion for two things---books and animals.People always ask her,"Why do you care so much about animals?"However,she always wants to ask them,"Why don't you care so much about animals?"It is never really a decision that she has made; it's just the way she has always been.But really she doesn't like to see anyone suffer whether it's a person or an animal,as she thinks whether we walk on two legs or four,suffering is suffering.
Although her latest book Love Saves the Day is written for adults,there is a message for kids in it,which is,learning to appreciate their parents.It is a story of a mother and a grown daughter who have a very difficult relationship.A big part of what the daughter has to learn is to see things from her mother's point of view.One of the key parts of the book is how the mother and daughter learn to better understand each other.
46.Gwen Cooper's tour probably lasts.C
A.3 months           
B.5 months
