NIGHT OF THE DRAGON
DEADLINE APPROACHING SOON!!

The deadline for donations for the Night of the Dragon is January 7, 2017! As of Winter Break, the Auction Committee had not received the number of donations we usually have by mid-December. Please consider donating an item or a service to the Night of the Dragon!! Donations can be received from individuals or businesses and are tax-deductible! The Auction Committee is looking for sports packages, trips (vacation homes, hotels, restaurants, etc.), baskets, spirits, etc. - anything people will desire enough to bid up the price! Have something great to donate! Last year's catalog is also still online at www.nightofthedragon.com to provide ideas for donations.

SMOKE AND SCALES SEEKS CO-EDITOR FOR 2017-2018 SCHOOL YEAR


Want to donate your time and skill set to Maggie L. Walker Governor's School from the comfort of your home or office?  One of our editors has a graduating Dragon, so Smoke and Scales is seeking a co-editor for the 2017-2018 school year.  Smoke and Scales is published weekly with the exception of summer, winter, and spring breaks.

This co-editor would:
  1. Compile article blocks submitted via email each week.
  2. Organize article blocks and edit accordingly.
  3. Submit draft to co-editor for online publication.
  4. Proof online draft prior to publication.
The co-editor must possess strong writing, organizing, fact-checking, proofreading, and communication skills.  This commitment requires approximately 2 hours per week.

If interested, please contact Smoke and Scales at smokeandscales@gmail.com and provide a brief summary of your experience as well as the graduation year of your MLWGS student; to provide some continuity, Smoke and Scales particularly welcomes applicants with students in their first or second year at MLWGS.  If you have questions or want to discuss the position further, please contact smokeandscales@gmail.com.
