Pecan Press Poetry Editor Nancy Day, our authors' coordinator, is asking Hyde Park authors, writers and poets to set up at the Elisabet Ney Museum. Nancy needs help with refreshments tables and chairs. To volunteer at the Ney, call Nancy at 451-4034 or poemmom@yahoo.com. We would very much like to have artists participate as well, but as of this writing we have no one to coordinate any art events or locations.

    Of course, for all who have never been involved in a Homes Tour, there are many jobs (over 300) from docents to cleanup crews. All volunteers are given a free ticket to the tour and treated to a fabulous party afterwards at New World Deli. This is one of the best ways to meet your neighbors and have fun. Call our volunteer coordinator John Williams at 323-6997 or jawilli@grandecom.net.
