Memories to Memoirs: A Senior Writing Adventure

September 28, 2009

10/15,10/29,11/12, and 12/3 -- Legacy writing preserves the essence of our existence and keeps our memory vital and alive.

This Event is SOLD OUT!!!

We each leave a unique footprint on this planet as we journey through our life. Legacy writing captures this footprint -- our loves, our triumphs, our attitudes and our emotions -- and preserves it for generations as yet unknown. Legacy writing preserves the essence of our existence and keeps our memory vital and alive.
 
At your first session, you will receive a bound journal with prompts to aid writing. By the final session, you will understand how to access and edit your personal history and have begun writing a compelling, honest memoir.
 
Memoir writings from all participants will be compiled into a single bound volume kept on permanent display at the IOG for guests and visitors to enjoy.
