Our own Ezine was asked to join the WIRED Digital
Showcase in late November to display the work submitted by Hinchinbrook residents
through the Can of Words website. Response to the Ezine was positive from children and
adults alike, so we look forward to more in the Hinchinbrook Community submitting their
work for publication in Can of Words.
