Hello, I’m Rita Molloy, with some BCN community announcements:

The Federation of Newfoundland Authors are holding their 12th 
Annual “Mark My Words” festival this weekend.  Readings, Book 
Signings, and Seminars, for the professional and the novice writer.  
Today at Noon at the Devon Arms, poet Bronwyn Tibbo reads from her 
latest collection, “Fungicide” and  Maureen Byrd gives a talk entitled 
Delbert Onglow and The Newfoundland School of Punitive Literature.  
And at two in Bannerman Park the city’s shredders start churning for 
the Book Re-cycling project.  Don’t mince words!  Mulch them!  

The Status of Women’s Council are holding a Dead Beat Dad round-
up.  Join the angry mob as it beats the bushes to flush out louts and 
lay-abouts alike.   “Pay-up Pops” is the message, a mass of muscular 
Moms, the means!   Rendezvous at City Hall at 2:30 and please come 
equipped.

The Avalon League of Deep Fat Fryers hold their biennial meeting in 
the kitchens of the Cabot Institute at 3:00.   Today Gid Stockley will 
be formally named a Grand Master of the League in recognition of his 
ground breaking work in deep fried salt.   Also on the agenda, the 
League’s efforts to keep the province Olestra free. 

Those are some community announcements.  I’m Rita Molloy. You are 
listening to BCN 520, All Newfoundland Radio.
