MEMORIES TO MEMOIRS GROUP
Does your family say, “You should write that story down before it is lost forever!” This class is an exciting way of exploring, recording and preserving the unique tales of your life.

This class is open to adults and seniors who are interested in writing down their stories for future generations. All levels of ability are welcome. Mary Sanders Shartle and Elaine Handley will facilitate writing exercises that are fun and engaging. Participants are encouraged to continue writing practice between classes, but all assignments are voluntary. Offered in the spring and fall: Mondays 10:00-11:30a.m.
Continue writing and reading your memories to a congenial group of people who enjoy carrying on what they learned during the spring and fall classes. Everyone is welcome. Meets year round. Mondays 10:00-11:30a.m.
