PRESERVING YOUR LIFE'S STORY
A Workshop For Creating Your Personal Memoir

Would you like to create a written record of your life experiences to be shared with family and friends? Can you use a little help, a little motivation to get started on such a worthwhile endeavor? If so, this Free 3-session workshop may be just what you need.

MEMOIR CREATION WORKSHOP - Three consecutive Tuesdays:
January 24th and 31st and February 7th - 1:30 - 3:00 pm

Session One: Getting Started - Why? What? How?
Session Two: Continuing The Process -Building Your Memoir
Session Three: Putting it all together - How? For Whom?

Non-professional writer, Lloyd Barnhart, will lead the workshop. His personal memoir, RABBIT STEW (a work in progress), was created as a sort of "lest we forget" collection for himself, his children and grandchildren. He will share his stew recipe, his approach to creating his memoir with workshop attendees in a convincing "If I can do it... you can do it!" presentation. (Note: This workshop is for adults, preferably over the age of 50. Come equipped with note book and pencil, along with your own life stories.)

Where: The Lodge at Pineridge Cross Country Ski Center

Note: Registration is limited. To register, call Lloyd Barnhart at 674-2747.

Family 4 Week Program Application

Night Skiing

Night Skiing requires a minimum group of 10 adults. Once a group has made a down payment for a given night and ski conditions are favorable, Pineridge will open for that night and announce by email and ski report that we are open to the public.

If you have a group of 10 adults, call or email regarding your interest and a night you would like. We will get back to you and you can send a down payment. If you would like a night but do not have 10 adults, let us know how many you have and what nights you could ski. We will attempt to coordinate with another group or groups and then let everyone know via email.

Hours of operation are 6 to 9:30 pm. We have 4km of lit trails, headlamps are permitted. Season Pass, Source Card, Entertainment Card or other coupons do not apply.
