SUNDAY, Nov. 27
1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Calling all athletes, aspiring
Olympians, readers, writers, and those with a great imagination!
Come and join us in a celebration of literature and sport in a Jewish
context.
This year, the
Jewish Community Centre of Greater Vancouver is the proud host of
the 2006 JCC Maccabi Games. The Olympics style event will take place
August 13-18, 2006, and will involve over 1800 Jewish athletes and
coaches from the United States, Europe, South America, Australia,
and of course, ISRAEL! Information about the JCC Maccabi Games is
available online: www.vancouvermaccabi.org
In preparation
for this exhilarating event, we chose SPORTS as the theme. Children
in grades 3-5 are invited to share their literary creations. The
topics include:
My Most Memorable
/ Unusual Moment in Sports
If I Could Invent a Maccabi Sport, it would be…
My Favourite Jewish Sports Hero
Imagine Me … A Sports Hero!
All submissions
will be printed and the participants will be coached on public speaking
skills. This event will allow young children to share their creative
writing with their friends, family and the general public. There
will be a draw for door prizes and, if necessary, for the names
of those young authors who will read aloud. Only those who arrive
on time and sign in will be eligible for the draw. Deadline
for submissions and advance book orders is Thursday, November 10
at 5 pm.
During the Tea,
participants will be introduced to local Maccabi athletes, watch
a video of previous JCC Maccabi games, and have the opportunity
to meet other young families.
Young
authors gather at 1:00 pm sharp. Audience members are welcome
to pick up their pre-ordered Young Authors' Tea books or browse
in the book festival bookstore.
The structured presentation will begin at 1:30 pm.
Admission is free. Everyone is welcome.
