EGS Meeting on October 16, 2025
in person at the Library or from home over Zoom
Telling Our Stories presented by the EGS Writers’ Group
7:00 pm at GBPL
Please join us on Thursday evening October 16, 2025 when members of our Writers’ Group will share family stories they have written. In the past, we have heard amazing stories that have taken us back in time.
The EGS Writer’s Group is a special interest group that encourages and assists with writing family stories and histories. The participants share their stories for help with ideas, resources and clarification.
The group meets at 10:00 am on the 2nd Month of the month in the 2nd floor conference room at the main branch of the Gail Borden Library. Guests are welcome to attend to see the process and perhaps join in on the writing.
