Sharing Your Life Stories: An Intergenerational Program

Write On is pleased to partner with the Belgian Heritage Center (BHC) on a special memoir writing program free and open to all.

Have you thought about writing down some of the stories from your life to share with other family members, but don’t know where to begin?

Are you curious about the stories of your grandparents’ lives?

Would you like to share the stories passed down to you?

BHC is pleased to welcome Write On, Door County to lead this free and very informal session designed to help you get started recording those stories you want to pass on to future generations. All ages are welcome and family groups are encouraged! Facilitators will offer prompts and questions to help you remember events from the past or the present and put them to page. The session will be led by Sharon Auberle and Shaun Melarvie, who facilitate Write On’s Memoir Monday program at Hope Church, the fourth Monday of the month.

A poet and photographer, Sharon served as Door County Poet Laureate 2017-2019. A semi-retired general surgeon, Shaun is using his new free time to write a novel. Sharing Your Life Stories is presented in collaboration with Write On, Door County. The session is open to everyone. Admission is free. We especially encourage participation by young people who want to learn and share the stories of their ancestors.
