Writing about your life is easier than you think.  If you have ever considered keeping a journal or diary but have put it off . . . or perhaps you are a seasoned journal keeper, (or anywhere in between) please join me for this 4 week workshop.

 The $10.  charge to register will be donated to the Historical Society.  I can promise you an enjoyable introduction to journaling and/or interesting new ways to enjoy your journal keeping.  Every Wednesday at 10 a.m. we will spend about one hour together.  Leave a legacy on paper for your family.
