Storytelling
–
August 15, 2024Winter and Spring (September through March) are the very best times to again to share our stories and get to know each other in new ways. Facilitated by a member, this popular and memorable program began in the winter of 2021. Three or four members share their stories and you'll be able to respond briefly. Guests are welcome! Facilitated by a member beginning with the 2021-22 season, the series resulted in a publication during summer of 2021 of many of the stories we told earlier that year. Contact Denise Klein if you'd like to be a storyteller or a moderator.
