Authors on Stage - New Canaan Library’s Memoir Writing Workshop
Monday, June 25, 2012
At 7:00 pm in the Lamb Room
For the past year, several aspiring memoir writers have been gathering monthly to share their life stories at the New Canaan Library’s Memoir Writing Workshop. Their stories are about personal experiences and reflections on subjects ranging from early childhood memories to events of adulthood.
Telling your story is important because it preserves your life in a meaningful format that can be accessed for years to come.
This sharing of the Collection of Memories has been compiled to serve as a “snapshot” and cross section of some of their stories -- one or two from each workshop participant. Join us as the authors share their memories.
