Dave Foley, professional writer and columnist will speak on Writing Your Story, October 27th, 5-7pm at Up North Arts. FREE EVENT
(Drop In Attendance is welcome. Registration is appreciated so we may plan appropriately)

We all have stories to tell. And among children, grandchildren and friends there is an audience eager to hear about your past. Ideally, these important moments from your history can be recorded while they are fresh in your mind. But even if these events happened years ago, if they are never shared with others, they will disappear.

A journal with your history helps others to learn about you. Dave will help you to begin journaling or start a family history. Ideas will be offered to help interview family members to help them recall special moments in their lives. Dave will also share specifics on developing a writing style as well as techniques to communicate more effectively with readers.
