Editor, The Times:
The North Thompson Arts Council is proud to announce it will be continuing its “Poetry and Potluck” series on a monthly basis.
The events will be a held in the NTAC’s “Studio Space” at the Dutch Lake Community Centre, the last Thursday of every month.
The next event will be held on Thursday, Jan. 29, starting at 6 p.m., with readings at 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.
The purpose of this event is to promote the beauty of the written word, poetry in this case, and to expand culturally on Clearwater’s community events. People may bring a couple pieces of poetry they want to share – it can be something previously published or an original work. They can either read the poetry themselves or have another person read it on their behalf.
If some would rather sit back, relax and listen, they are more than welcome. It is our goal to maintain a comfortable, creative and enjoyable environment for all to enjoy.
We call this “Poetry & Potluck” as we want to have a casual gathering before the readings begin where people can get to know one another or connect with friends and neighbours alike.
So to that end, we ask that everyone bring a small appetizer platter along to share with his or her fellow poetry lovers.
Admission is by donation.
Richard Stroh, president
