Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Those attending will create a meaningful memoir capturing their unique life events, in a variety of venues.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Attendees have formed a group which continues to meet and journal. They particularly enjoyed learning new communication skills when interviewing subjects: 1) taking the time to listen 2) respond and 3 ) return again to keep it moving. Emphasis in journaling is to capture the stories not necessarily specific dates of births and deaths.
