This time around is all about You. We are looking forward to making sure You have a good time, as a reader, writer, graphic artist and a poet. Yes! You got it right! There will be activities for everybody! We will have four levels of participation that will be showcased: Short story writing, graphics, poetry and community interaction!

Just like love has many faces, storytelling is not just prose, so if your thing is verse, rhyme away! If you believe love can be described in a short story of 3,000 words or less, go for it! Images work for you? Come along, we have a place! Do you just read, and love to comment? You've found a special place in our hearts too!

We have a number of contests and activities that will take place from February 1-14, hosted by the Doves of Love, representing our Engagement Profile Families!
