This workshop is for everyone. Whether you want to read your own writing or the writing of others, read to your grandchildren or your classroom, or learn how to bring words alive, the Tell Your Story workshop is for you.  

Friesen is a captivating reader who will share her skills with you in this two hour session on Saturday March 7th. If the spoken word strikes terror into your heart, remember that writing is all about communication. The Tell Your Story workshop will help put those jitters to rest.
