Event Details: Everyone has a story worth preserving. Join us for a two-part workshop focused on reflecting on your memories, exploring family history, and beginning a meaningful written legacy to share with loved ones.

With guided prompts, creative exercises, and gentle coaching from author and historian Janie Lynn Panagopoulos of the Sugar Grove Historical Society, you’ll uncover life stories, honor past generations, and build confidence in telling your story your way.

Whether you hope to leave a keepsake for your children, share your journey with your community, or simply reflect on the path that brought you here, this two-part workshop offers a welcoming space to connect, remember, and create.
