SBCC's "Tell Your Story" Writing Workshop

Are your relatives and friends urging you to share your life experiences?    Would you like to capture your memories on the page?  Written reflections on life and memories can create social connections and weave a life tapestry – a legacy to be shared. 

Join Solana Beach Community Connection’s (SBCC’s) Writing Workshop for a series of four, two-hour sessions in a safe environment that encourages written expression.  The Workshop meets on Thursdays beginning on February 6 and running four weeks (Feb 6, 13, 20, 27) from 10:00 AM to 12:00 noon. Participants will gather at La Colonia Park Community Center Classroom, located at 715 Valley Avenue, Solana Beach, CA 92075.  The Workshop is part of SBCC’s mission to support community engagement for mature adults in Solana Beach.

Eberly Barnes, who currently manages a writing program for undergraduates at UC San Diego, will be the guide and instructor.  In addition to her academic life as a writer and teacher, Dr. Barnes has worked as a speechwriter, freelance editor, and writer.  She has published memoir stories and writes a blog.

Class size is limited to the first 15 registrants and signups are on a first-come, first-served basis.  Others will be placed on a waiting list.  Participants are expected to attend at least three of the four sessions.  In each interactive section, you’ll receive suggestions for topics, share your written reflections, and discuss with classmates and the instructor in a relaxed, social environment.

To register, text 858-284-6619 or leave a voicemail.  Include your name, phone number and email address specifying February Writing Workshop.  Payments are not required, but donations to support the program are always appreciated.  Donations, by checks payable to Solana Beach Community Connections, can be sent to P.O. Box 1723, Solana Beach, CA 92075.  Indicate February Writing Workshop in the Memo space.
