Memoir Writing Workshop for Seniors
Leave Your Legacy Class

Designed for senior writers of all levels, participants learn how to craft their stories as either a series of short works or a full-length memoir. Writing a personal narrative has countless benefits for seniors – besides helping to preserve memory, it also provides needed stimulation, a sense of purpose, and an outlet for creative expression. Coming together in a nurturing, supportive environment is a perfect way to connect socially, ultimately leading the way to lasting bonds and friendships.
