Storytellers & Friends,

We hope that you can join us for our monthly meeting, to be held on Monday, April 20th, at 6:00 pm (mt) via zoom. We welcome newcomers to storytelling, veteran tellers, as well as appreciative listeners from near or far. Stories bring communities together, foster friendships & serve to widen our horizons, sharing the culture & traditions of other cultures as reflected in their stories. We often find a common thread woven throughout these tales.
We will open the meeting with a chance to greet one another, awaiting until all have arrived. Following this we open the meeting to our story swap time. Attendees are invited to share a short ( 3 minute) story, anecdote, poem, or misc. creative offering.
The evening will proceed with presentations from our two featured tellers, Gloria Hacker & Judith Ames. There might be a surprise visit as well, from a guest Storyteller. That's the beautiful thing about live storytelling, there is always a bit of serendipity involved!
Below you will find the zoom link to click on as well as the #'s & passcodes for those who will be joining us by phone.
We look forward to a delightful storyful evening!
