 DRAMA WINTER SHOW - CHARLIE COX RUNS WITH SISSORS
The San Marin Drama Department invites you to their special winter show, Charlie Cox Runs with Scissors by Michael McKeever
Plot:
Book editor, Charlie Cox has just found out that he has Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (also known as Lou Gehrig's disease). In his distraught state of mind, he drives out into the Arizona Desert. He picks up a hitchhiker, Wally, who he eventually finds out is his own personal "Grim Reaper." His car breaks down and the two end up walking to a ramshackle motel run by a lonely but charming woman named Nell Todd. Nell and Charlie begin to form a friendship while he attempts to write his memoirs. As Charlie begins to fall in love with Nell, Kiki, an incorrigible cupid and the personification of Love, enters the picture. No one can see Wally (Death) or Kiki (Love) except Charlie. As Charlie and Nell's relationship begins to blossom, Love and Death begin their epic tug- of- war to see who will win control of Charlie. Will Charlie give in to his inevitable death or listen to love who is beckoning him to live life to fullest each day? Come find out on:

What is ALS: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is a progressive neurodengerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. The muscles don't get enough nourishment and they decay limiting body movement. Common symptoms may include: muscle weakness in the hands, arms, legs. Speech can become thick or slurred. In more advanced stages, there is shortness of breath and difficulty in breathing. Currently, there is no cure for the disease.
San Marin Drama to perform this play at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August 2009
San Main Drama will perform this show in late January 2009 at the Lenaea Drama Festival at Sacramento State University and again as part of the US Team at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival August of 2009.
San Marin Drama was one of 90 schools chosen out of 1600 schools from around the United States to be part of the US Team at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland in August of 2009. The Fringe Festival is the largest drama festival in the world and is considered" The Olympics of Theatre." San Marin Drama hopes to spread awareness about (ALS) Lou Gehrig's disease on a world platform. This play will be a fundraiser for the six students performing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Each night you will see:
~ Men in Kilts
~ Music by San Marin Students
~ A live Auction
~ Monologues and scenes from other talented San Marin Advanced Drama actors (in addition to the play)
~ Great food
Dedication:
The Play will be dedicated to Lloyd Cymrot (who suffers from ALS). His two daughters, Chelsea and Cortnay are part of the San Marin Advanced Drama Class. Chelsea is the assistant student director for the play and also plays the role of Kiki. Lloyd is truly an inspiration to all of us. He has been fighting ALS for 10 years. With great perseverance, he has never missed one of his daughter's plays. Although completely disabled from the disease, he comes in his movable bed with his nurse to watch their performances. San Marin is proud to be doing this play in his honor.

 LAWS OF LIFE ESSAY CONTEST
The Rotary Club of Novato Sunrise is very pleased to announce its 4th annual Laws of Life Essay Contest. The Novato Unified School District Superintendent has approved the contest for all students in the district's middle schools and high schools. Principals and teachers in these schools have received their Laws of Life materials and students will soon begin preparing their essays.
The Laws of Life Essay Contest invites students to write about values that are important to them. The contest asks that they write about any Law of Life that they learned from an adult or family member whom they know or knew. The person might be a parent, grand parent, aunt, uncle, teacher, coach, mentor, neighbor or other adult who made a positive impression on the student and their life.
Over the past three years, more than 1,600 Laws of Life essays have been written by students as a part of the contest. Our Rotary Club has found that the contest:
- Helps brings students, schools and the community together in support of and in celebration of the experiences of young people,
- Inspires students to write about their personal experiences and viewpoints,
- Reinforces and rewards literacy, and
- Provides teachers with another tool supportive of their curriculum.
Contest essays and entry forms must be submitted by February 13, 2009. The best essays will be submitted to an honor panel of judges chosen from the Novato community. The panel of Honor Judges will select the contest winners.
Contest winners will be awarded cash prizes of $300, $200, and $100 for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners in each of the Middle School and High School groups. $50 cash prizes will be awarded to those receiving Honorable Mention. The teachers of the 1st place winners will each be recognized with a $100 award.
The Laws of Life Contest awards ceremony is scheduled for April 9, 2009 and will be held at the Hill Middle School auditorium.
