Most animals that come into the care of the Society are later adopted; unless there are health or behavioral issues. The annual operating costs are about $900,000. There is also a fundraising campaign for new facilities. The goal is to raise $2.9 million; and so far, about $1.6 million has been raised. Nicole and Jennifer made an interesting presentation, then lots of questions. Nobody left until 11:30 or so. ❖

PEI Writers’ Guide to offer Screenwriting 101 workshop – Public Event Screenwriting 101 takes place on November 23, from 9am until 4pm, at the Haviland Club in Charlottetown. The cost is $85 for Guild members and $95 for non-members. Registration is available on the PEIWG’s website (peiwritersguild.com). See some details below.
On November 23, the PEI Writers’ Guild will host a screenwriting workshop, the first of a new “Crossing Over” series the Guild is hosting this year. Entitled “Screenwriting 101,” the workshop will be facilitated by Louise Lalonde of Louise Lalonde Productions, a Prince Edward Island media company.
“The idea for a Crossing Over series came from the desire to explore genre transition,” explains PEI Writers’ Guild president Mo Duffy Cobb. “Over the next few months, the Guild will host workshops in screenwriting, playwriting, and songwriting—exploring the techniques of writing in each genre.”
Duffy Cobb said the workshops will appeal to those who wish to break into a particular genre, but who may not be familiar with genre-specific writing conventions.
