OUR NEXT MEETING: Sat., Sept. 18, 2021

9:00 AM to 2:00 PM

Collins Pond

20202 Gum Island Road (or Kennedy Road if using an old GPS)

Georgetown, DE 19947

Jenna Caraway and Cali (or maybe her name will be Charlie this year).

Our September meeting will be hosted by Jenna Caraway at Collins Pond. This annual retreat by the pond in a wooded setting has been a tradition for DCWF for many years. Begun by her mother, Wilma, who is fondly remembered, it promises to be a relaxing, inspiring, and entertaining day since one or more of Jenna's puppets will surely make an appearance.

Let's hear directly from Jenna about what she has planned:

As most of you know, I have a passion for puppets and have been writing for my characters. I attended the International VentHaven Ventriloquist Convention as I do annually. So, in addition to the writing games I have planned for us, I thought I would bring you all into my world a bit, not too much so don't be afraid. Topics we will discuss are:

- What I have learned about writing from the convention

- Character development

- Very, very basic puppetry/ventriloquism

- Creative play

We hope this sparks your interest and you will be able to join us for the fun. Please bring your own bag lunch and food to share (coffee cake, salad, dessert). Water will be provided. You might want to bring a folding chair to sit on the deck.
