We Need Help!

         The CCN Beacon is retooling and will soon need writers, columnists and graphics designers. Your reward is a credit which will last the ages, the knowledge that hundreds of people will read your words, the experience and some clippings that look good in a résumé. Send in a small sample of your work or URL to adw@chebucto.ns.ca.

         We need a couple of our regular column spots filled, and perhaps start up some new ones. Ideas for feature articles as well as writers wishing to 'freelance' writing them are more than welcome as are graphics people to help illustrate. Write in for more information.
