Author Jean Rae Ba xter offers a six-week Tuesday afternoon workshop series for seniors inter ested in writing a memoir or family history..\nhttps://kfpl.libnet.info/ev ent/7245994 X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:

Are you a senior with a lifetime of memori es you'd like to share? \; You know you've got a story inside of you - - perhaps a memoir\, or a multi-generation family history. \; Maybe th ere&rsquo\;s a key event in an ancestor&rsquo\;s life that changed everyth ing for their descendants. \; Knowing how to go about telling that sto ry is another matter.  \;Should you rely on your memory\, or must ever ything be fact-checked? \; Would it be best in print form\, or would a recording be better? \; If these are questions you&rsquo\;ve been pon dering\, then this hands-on workshop series by award-winning author Jean Rae Baxter is for y ou.

\n

Starting on Tuesday\, March  \;21\, at 2 p.m.\, Jean will meet with a small group of seniors for two hours each week and show how to create a narrative that people will want to read. You'll learn how to org anize your writing project and how to write about your life experiences. T he tools of fiction will help you make anything -- a special person\, plac e or thing -- memorable. Be warned\, though! You'll learn by writing\, and you should expect two to three hours of homework each week. By the end of the sixth week (on Tuesday\, April 25)\, you'll have a story to share wit h family and friends\, and to pass on to the next generation.

\n

Writ ing pads will be provided for those who prefer to write on paper\, but any one who prefers to use a laptop or tablet is most welcome to bring their o wn device. There is no admission charge\, but seating is limited. To avoid disappointment\, please register in advance beginning at 9 AM on Saturday \, March 11. Please ensure that you will be able to attend all five sessio ns before you register.

\n

Note: This is a repeat offering of the Telling Your Story workshop series held at the Sydenham\, Isabel Turner\, and Calvin Park branches in 2018 and in Sharbot Lake in 2019.
