This holiday season create a gift with a unique wow factor: a written memory to loved ones.  Your experiences mark a time in history, reveal struggles and triumphs, and capture the joy of past times.  Children read such memories and learn about themselves. You often share stories about yourself or your family, right?  Then capture it on paper.

It’s easy with writing prompts and guidance in a 1-1/2 hour daytime workshop at the Milton Public Library, lower level, on Wednesday, December 2 from 10:30 a.m. to noon.   The event is free but advance registration is required (www.miltonlibrary.org)  Click on Events. The first 15 to register and attend will receive a free, signed copy of The Art of Column Writing for gift giving.
