Each of us has a wealth of memories.
The goal of this once a month program is writing your life stories.
At every gathering each person has 10 minutes to share a story with our group members in a very supportive environment. No one’s work and writing skills are ever critiqued. Your unique style of writing is the right way to write.
Please join us every month. Relive your memories that will one day become your memoir.
Surprise your family who’ve wanted you to do this. The biggest surprise you’ll find is recalling the stories of your life.
We look forward to seeing you.
