6 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, April 7, 1999 Poetry slam at Misericordia The newly organized Wyoming Valley Chapter of Amnesty Inter- national will hold a poetry slam on Saturday, April 10 from 7-9 p-m. in the Commuter Hall on the campus of College Misericordia and will celebrate its 13th anni- versary. Writers compete for prizes with a three minute reading of their work judged Olympic style. ‘Although a slam is a contest, the atmosphere is coffee house, resulting in fun for both poets and audience with door prizes and mini competitions accompanying the main writing events.. The evening is hosted by an emcee and is divided into three sets of open mike, featured poets, and the ensemble group. The en- semble group is under the dead- line of writing within specific time limits and competing with each other. The judges are chosen at ran- dom from the audience and are given score cards to rank the po- ets. It is a time to gather poets, listeners, and performance lov- ers. The general theme is-the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which recently marked its 50th anniversary. Light refresh- ments will be available for pur- chase. A nominal admission fee will be charged to promote the work of the local chapter. The poetry slam is the first fund raising project of the group and will help to defray costs for letter campaigns and educational programs. ‘Girl Scouts visit chiropractic office Girl Scout Troop 624 recently visited Family Chiropractic of Dallas “and learned how natural Chiropractic care helps to improve, “tnaintain and restore overall health.
