Writing Workshops with Instructor T.J. Banks“Writing Yourself Out”Tuesday, Mar. 11, 1:30 - 2:30 p.m., So. Conference RoomCost: $3 - Register by Mar. 6Everybody has a story to tell-something that he or she really needs to write about. A lot of us are hesitant to put pen to paper because we think that writing is hard. Well, it doesn’t have to be. When we’re writing about things that we’re truly engaged with, it can be playful, moving, exhilarating, or all of the above. In this workshop, we’re going to forget a lot of what we’ve been taught about writing and explore new ways of bringing our stories to life. “The Animal Connection”Tuesday, Apr. 8, 1:30 - 2:30 p.m., So. Conference RoomCost: $3 - Register by Apr. 3Animals are some of the most incredible teachers and guides imaginable. They teach us about compassion, unconditional love and, in the case of those with a disability, awe inspiring determination. In this workshop, we’ll see how writing about the animals we love not only allows us to capture them in words, it also lets us explore what they mean to us. T.J. Banks is the author of several books, including Moonlight & Grace, A Time for Shadows, Abys Among Us & Other Stories for the Feline-Inclined, and Catsong, as well as other books, anthologies and poetry. She has worked for The Associated Press and The Writer’s Digest School and taught writing workshops in both Connecticut and Massachusetts.

Today its not unusual to see a woman flight officer on a commercial airplane. But that wasn’t always the case. From the dawn of aviation, the sight of an airplane thrilled some women. They turned their eyes skyward, longing to be where beauty and freedom abound. In this program you will come to know the courageous women who broke the barriers and learned to fly. You will learn of their love of flying, their challenges, their obstacles and, in some cases, their sacrifices to be part of this special group who found magic in the sky.
