This week most of my time will be dealing with the planning of future events, for instance I have a meeting with the local transit director tonight. This is to discuss shuttle buses to the Heritage Day event hosted by the Arts & Culture Council of Strathcona County in June. I also have to create a schedule for performances for the event too. One of the disadvantages of all this pre-planning is how quickly the year goes by! With an AGM and conference in April, a writing retreat in May, the Heritage Day in June and the upcoming Words in the Park event, which is part of Alberta Culture Days in September - poof the year has almost gone! I have to take a step back sometimes and look at what month I am actually in. The years pass quickly enough as it is. How about you? Do the seasons come and go at an alarming rate? Other local events: LitFest NewWest celebrates readers, writers, and community March 31–April 2 in New Westminster, BC. Please feel free to add your events in the comments for your area.
