Plan to Attend our Next Events:
Journal Into Memoir
Saturday, February 29, 2020 at 2:00pm, Program Rooms A and B. Registration Requested (click here to register).
Local author, Janine Cammarata, will present a journaling/memoir workshop where participants are invited to bring a son, a daughter, a sister, a brother, a parent, or a best friend to the presentation. The focus will be on how two related people see and respond to the same event in their lives in very different ways, similar to Tara Westover and her family members in Educated. It should be great fun! Bring your own journal, a photo from a shared experience if you have it, one and a pen. We will supply the rest. Janine will be selling and signing her various fiction and non-fiction books inspired by her own experiences and journaling.
