Stories to tell my Grandchildren March

Stories to Tell My Grandchildren- Writing Circle 

The Walker County Genealogy Society hosts a writing group on the third Wednesday of each month at the Huntsville Public Library. The purpose of the group is to document family stories before they are forgotten. The group will meet from 2:00 - 4:00 pm on Wednesday, March 18, in the Johnnie Jo Sowell Dickenson Genealogy Room and will use the time to write, discuss, and/or help each other. The group is free and open to everyone, not just genealogists.  

Everyone has a story and knowing family stories helps emotional well-being for all ages.  Be a part of the group and provide your grandchildren with family stories from the past that they may take into the future. For more information, contact Adult Services Coordinator Mary Kokot at 936-291-5471.
