Vancouver BC: Writing family stories, memoirs

If you've been thinking of collecting family stories for your children and grandchildren, then this workshop is for you - if you live within reach of Vancouver, British Columbia.

The Jewish Museum & Archives of BC will present a "Writing Family Stories and Memoirs" workshop, by Lil Blume on Sunday, November 8.

Stories passed from one generation to the next carry the values, culture, and unique mythology of that family. Knowing our family's stories solidifies our sense of belonging. If you have been thinking of collecting family stories for your children and grandchildren, then this workshop is for you.

Writer and editor, Lil Blume, will give you ideas for reviving memories and writing and organizing your family story project. Come prepared to do some writing and storytelling.

The session takes place from 1-5pm at the Jewish Community Center where the Museum & Archives are located.

The fee is $30 for JGSBC members; $35 for others. Seating is limited; call 604-257-5199 to register.
