Personal Legacy Workshop set

MARQUETTE — From 6-8 p.m. Monday in the Dandelion Cottage Room, the Peter White Public Library will be hosting a Personal Legacy Workshop, a drop-in program that gives participants the opportunity to work individually on their writing with Heather Mlsna.

With a background in writing and marketing, Heather is the owner/operator of Last Letters/No Regrets, a professional writing service which serves individuals seeking to express themselves on paper, but who need help getting started. The goal of her service is to help people find healing and remembrance though writing.

Stop saying, “I really should start writing this down!” and come learn a quick, easy method of getting your stories and memories on paper. Participant’s projects have included memoirs, letters, family histories, scrapbook and photo histories with stories, pet remembrances, journals, etc. Workshops will be the second Monday of every month except October. Attend as many as you like until your project is complete.

There is no admission fee to attend this drop-in workshop. For more information visit www.pwpl.info or call 226-4318.
