For those who are interested in the Writers in the Schools (WiSP) program, the registration deadline is fast approaching. Ginny Hill, the WiSP administrator, would like confirmations of participation by August 25.

There have been changes this year, including the honorarium being increased to $250 per school visit, but also the requirement of a police check (a necessity that can't be worked around).

If you wish to participate you may write Ginny Hill - Ginnyh@nb.sympatico.ca - for more information.
