Guidelines for recruiting new members

1. Kuting will open a maximum of 10 slots and a
minimum of 6 slots to sponsored applicants.

2. Any active Kuting member may sponsor applicants
who are willing to commit themselves to the
organization.

3. Should you have anyone in mind, please send her
resume to acelgar@yahoo.com or email them to
Zarah. We will accommodate apllicants on a first
come first served basis.

4. There is no tedious screening process required to
qualify as an applicant. We trust that the Kuting
members will only sponsor those who really want to
write for children (with or withoutr experience)
and are willing to devote their time for the
organization.

5. To become full pledged Kuting members the
applicants must attend at least 6 GAs (6 months),
participate in at least 3 special events/projects
of the organization and submit an unpublished,
original manuscript for workshop. After completing
all these, they will be inducted as new members of
Kuting.

6. Deadline for expressing your intention to sponsor
an applicant is by October 15, 2006. Hopefully the
sponsored applicants will be able to join us
during the October GA.

Thank you and happy recruiting!

Lara's home...but only for a week or so

Guess who is back? Lara Saguisag!

She's taken a leave from graduate studies at Hollins University in Virginia and while she's here, she'll be doing a lecture series on writing poetry for children. The first one will be for SCBWI and its patrons. This will be at Figaro's, Greenbelt 3 on Monday, 6:00 pm February 13, 2006. A booktalk follows after her presentation. This event is open to all who are interested on writing for children, book lovers and advocates of literacy.

The following day, Valentine's day, she'll be in DLSU at 2:40 pm. On Thursday, February 16, 2006, she'll be in the UP Diliman. Her lecture there will start at 2 pm.

I will be seeing her on Monday, but aside from that, KUTING will also have a dinner with her on Wednesday, February 15, 2006. It's also KUTING's general assembly so I'm hoping to see members whom I have not met and chatted for months. There will be exciting news and updates to discuss and I bet, Lara has so many things to share given her experiences studying Children's Literature at Hollins.
