ll graduate students and lecturers are invited to join the organizing committee of December Night with Willa Cather, an event to mark the anniversary of Cather’s birth on December 7. This event will be one of several around the country to celebrate Cather’s birthday, and it is a good opportunity to help with a local community literary event—something you can list on your c.v. as committee work and/or service. As part of the December Gallery Walk, we’ll be hosting activities at St. John’s Episcopal Church in downtown Logan starting at 5:00 Friday evening, including:
· Readings from Cather’s works about Christmas
· Music (a soprano solo of Ave Maria as well as some piano music)
· Birthday cake made from a recipe in the Cather cookbook
· Cather-themed gift items for sale
· Meet and greet time with Jim and Angela Southwick from Heber City (Jim is Willa Cather’s great nephew).
Much of the planning work has been done, but we still need lots of help. Please join us if you’d like to help with a worthy cause and if you’d like to enhance your c.v. with service on a special committee. Here are some of the areas where you might help:
· Readers
· Setting up gift tables
· Setting up an information table
· Making signs
· Gift table clerks
· Serving cake and beverages
· Making beverages (probably hot chocolate)
· Clean up
So far the organizing committee includes Susan Andersen, Evelyn Funda, Bonnie Moore, and Steve Shively. Talk to any of us if you’d like more information. Feel free to show up at our next meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 14 at 1:00 in the Swenson Room, or let us know you’d like to help.
