Writing Family Stories Class Monday, October 13 & 27 11:00 a.m., Creation Studio I bet you have a story about an event or relationship that helped shape your life, and you have not yet told it. Your story is important and must be told. Classes will be held on the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month starting in October. We hope you consider joining. In our later decades, we reflect on the journey of our lives and the experiences along the way that gave each of us our unique humanity. Many senior authors capture these amazing journeys, each one a historical record, a family story, and an autobiographical reflection of everyone’s life journey in their memoir writing. It is for all these reasons that senior memoirs are growing in popularity. Michael Harrington is back for his 13th year of leading our residents on a special journey of writing family stories to leave as a legacy to our grandchildren. Michael provides prompts ahead of each class to help “jog” our memories, and writers are asked to write no more than two pages for each session. You will share those memories during each class.
