Educational Workshops & Informational Sessions
June 2018
Writing Your Life Stories Workshop
Presented by: Brad Rinn, Teacher and Writer
Tuesday, June 12th from 10:00am-12:00pm
One of the markers of a life well lived must surely be the stories, experiences and memories that are told. Many grandparents and loved ones do not live close by and the telling of life stories is limited but you can still capture these stories in the written form to share or for your own enjoyment. They can also leave a legacy of living history for future generations. Come to a mini workshop and start to create your stories. Bring pen and paper or your lap top.

You will need to plan three years in advance before needing help. This Team of Speakers will take any misunderstanding of benefits you have and provide clear answers.
