Sci-fi on the rock!

[Jennifer]

To all Newfoundlanders who are Sci-Fi nerds and lovers in their hearts,

My name is Melanie Collins and I'm helping the group "Sci-Fi on the Rock" find volunteers to try and have a Science Fiction [and Fantasy!] Convention right here in the Metro area of Newfoundland, aiming to be this coming Spring.

We need 20-30 volunteers to put aside one or two nights a month, and a few days of their time as we grow closer to the convention date, to help with anything from organizing and providing suggestions, to judging contests such as:


Model Building
Fan movies (short films)
Artwork/Drawing
Costumes
Card Games (Magic, etc)
Video Games
and any others that are suggested


We're also looking for local businesses such as Comic Book stores, collectible/hobby shops, and even local fan groups for everything from Star Wars and Star Trek to Anime, Vampires and Ghosts. Anything and everything is welcome and if we can get enough dedicated volunteers we will make sure everyone who attends and helps out has an awesome time!

In the plans so far are a variety of workshops from model building, writing, acting, movie/camera workshops, and comic drawing or general art work, but we need the help of volunteers to see these things happen!

If you're interested in helping out and making this convention happen, email me at: [e-mail]

I'll gladly send you all the information I have with me at this time, and do my best to answer any questions.

Thank you for your time and interest!

I have been in contact with her myself, the first meeting for volunteers will be on January 7th at 2:00pm at the Coffee Lodge, in the Petro Canada building at the corner of Commonwealth Avenue and the end of Old Placentia Road, in Mount Pearl.

If you want to do your part to encourage more of this type of thing, this is your chance!

Also if anyone is driving to the meeting in January and has room/is willing to bring others please post here!
