Throughout the month we will be updating news and events. Follow us on Facebook to get notifications, or visit the site again to see what’s new. See our Community Calendar feature (under News & Events) for a quick look at what’s going on the Cape Fear region. In this issue…

• We have articles from three new schools this month: Heide Trask High, Honours Guild Homeschool, and Burgaw Middle School. If you know promising young writers (fiction, poetry, journalism, anything!), please encourage them or their teachers to get in touch with us at [email protected].
• Teen Scene, Inc. is excited to sponsor a creative writing competition between participating Cape Fear area schools beginning January 1, 2024.  Click this link for the story with more details.
• Book your tickets to our 4th Annual Writers’ Award Banquet on April 20, 2024, at Blossoms Restaurant Meeting Room. Seating is limited this year, so reserve your ticket early.
• December is a good month to max out on your tax-deductible contributions. If you think what we are doing is important, please consider a year-end, tax-deductible contribution to Teen Scene, Inc. Our mailing address is PO Box 495, Leland, NC, 28451.
• If you are the kind of person who likes to see it all, you can select the December 2023 item from menus (under either Cape Fear Voices or Teen Scene) to find all the stories published this month in Cape Fear Voices and the Teen Scene, respectively.
• If you are looking for a particular author, see the menu item for Contributing Writers that (should) include those whose work appears over the past few months.

As usual, we would love to hear from you, either to tell us how we’re doing, to make suggestions for future content, or to comment on the stories you see this month. You may comment directly in the system or send email to [email protected].
