Writing Workshop for Seniors
by JulesEvent Location: OASIS Conference Room, Macy's Downtown, 4th floor, 621 SW 5th Ave, Portland
OASIS is sponsoring a writing workshop for seniors interested in telling the story of how their family came to America. This Write Around Portland-facilitated workshop is a chance to write your family's story of immigration to the U.S. and ensure that it is available to succeeding generations. Whether or not you or your ancestors came through Ellis Island, your story, of 800 words or less, will be added to the new Peopling of America Center planned for the Ellis Island Museum. If needed, they will have a volunteer to type the stories for submission.
Four Saturdays, October 4, 11, 28 and 25, 1:00-3:00 pm
Fee: $35 to OASIS (a $5 processing fee per term also applies) - Significant partial scholarships available to low income seniors.
