Some Upcoming Events for February 2012
Greater Moncton walking group- January was a great month at the Mapleton Park Trail. There were some icy mornings, but walkers judged the conditions and decided whether or not to pursue. For the month of February, we move to the Centennial Park Trail. We meet at the parking lot on St. George St. on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8:30. As long as school isn't closed due to weather, we walk- sunshine, rain, or snow, nothing stops us!
For what’s playing at the Capitol Theatre in January, visit http://www.capitol.nb.ca/ . Among the highlights are Ron Sexsmith, the Hubcap Comedy Festival, Bruce Cockburn, Paul Brandt. Symphony New Brunswick presents a Violin Duo.

Message from Deborah Carr- The long, cold days of winter present an excellent opportunity for both hibernating and beginning a writing project. But, if you're like me, it's also a time when I feel most in need of a little companionship, along with the motivation and energy that working with others can bring.
So, I've scheduled a series of writing workshops to take place at the Riverview Public Library on Saturdays during the month of February. February is all about LOVE, and that includes loving YOU. Give yourself the boost and encouragement you need to start. (PS - you might want to read my views on being a writer.)
WRITING LIFE STORIES This non-fiction workshop series (suitable for all levels, including beginners) will cover the writing process from information gathering through drafts, revisions and polishing. Weekly topics are Writer 's Field Notes, The Nature of Story, The Art of Revision, The Writer’s Editing Toolbox. Each session can be taken individually, however those who attend the whole series will gain the benefit of working with a single piece of writing from start to finish.
If you are straddling the fence, a free introductory session will be held at the library on Thursday, February 2nd from 6PM-8PM. Bring along a pen and notebook to try a few easy exercises.
I hope you can join me for individual sessions or for all four in the series. I'm offering a discount for those who register for the series and and pay before January 28th.
More information on topics, registration and cost at http://www.natureofwords.com/ (click on 'Workshops')
