Fancy running a programme item or two?

Have guitar, will travel
We have two sing-along items planned (one of them aimed specifically at kids). Unfortunately, one organizer had to leave for some personal reasons, so we need one or two people. We are happy to discuss what we had in mind, but this can be run in any way you want.
Have questions, can point
We have two panels(专家咨询组）for this year: panel on writing and panel on story archetypes(原型）.
We are looking for two volunteers to run these panels as chair. The main responsibility will be to point at people with questions, and have a few questions /remarks(评述）ready in case the audience has no ideas yet. Or if you always want to know something of course.
