Story Telling coming soon ….

The Hospitality Committee is interested in starting a similar storytelling program to Public Radio’s “Moth Hour.”  This monthly event will kickoff this Fall as we encourage the practice of personal storytelling. The program goals include:

• believing that listening to personal stories can widen our perspective and help us realize what we have in common
• creating a supportive space in which people can listen and be heard
• and believing that a community is strengthened when its members share stories with one another.

Upcoming events to sharpen our skills and guide us in this adventure, open to anyone.
