Older Women's Legacies : Memoir Writing for Senior Women

Do you have stories to tell? Are there memories that you would like to share with your friends and family?
For more information, visit https://calendar.dppl.org/event/12750674
This six-week workshop is designed to translate past events into cohesive stories. Each week we will write several stories from prompts meant to stir memories that were important parts of your life story. After the program ends participants can continue to add to their memoirs by following the exercises in the workbook (as well as other writing sources from the library).
Past participants found this program to be meaningful, both writing their stories and also the act of sharing them with others in the workshop. Those who complete the workshop will receive a printed booklet of their writing to share with friends and family.
We will meet in Conference Room C for the first 2 weeks, and Conference Room A the following 4 weeks.
