Institute for Learning in Retirement (ILR) offers Fall Courses at Country Meadows of Frederick

 

Tales for the Grandchildren: Writing  Your Life Story 

 

ILR’s longest running course returns this fall with the same,

unique format, but this term, offers your choice of a morning

or afternoon class. Weekly handouts and discussion guide you

in writing your family history, recording its unique culture,

folklore and values for future generations. By preserving both

personal and family stories, you can provide a good sense of

self-identification and belonging to those who come after you.

Whether you are a beginning or an experienced writer, you will

profit from class discussions as you write at least seven stories

during the seven sessions of the class. Course is limited to 12

participants, so register early.

Facilitator:

Dottie O’Neal was hand-picked by the creator
and long-time teacher of this course, Shirley Sandage, as the

facilitator of one of ILR’s most popular courses. She was a student

of Shirley’s in this course for many years and continues to write

her own life story. Dottie also teaches ILR’s genealogy courses.
