GFO's WRITERS' FORUM

Hello Aspiring Writers,

The Writers' Forum will meet on Saturday, November 12th, from 11:45 a.m.
until
1:45 p.m. at the Genealogical Forum of Oregon. We meet the second Saturday of each month.

Everyone is welcome, whether you have participated before or not. This is your chance to get started writing or improve your writing, whether you are writing for yourself or for others.

We learn about good writing techniques -- write and read what we write to each other. Without exception, everyone who has participated in this group over the last seven years writes better than they did when they started.

This year we are working with Roy Peter Clark's Writing Tools: 50 Essential Strategies for Every Writer published by Little, Brown and Company in 2006.
Each year we work with a book, but this particular book has been the most helpful of any book we worked with. Now we are working more specifically on language and at this meeting we will be working with Tool 25 Workshop:
"Learning the Difference Between Reports and Stories."

Bring your lunch if you would like.

Peggy

GFO ILLINOIS INTEREST GROUP

This Saturday, November 12, is the next Illinois Interest meeting.
All are welcome to attend. We think you will all learn something this month!
The meeting begins at 9:30 at the GFO on 12th and Division. (Don¹t go to the
old place!)
The meeting will be done by 11:30.
You will go home with more knowledge, more understanding, and a good
handout to help you learn even more.
Don Finel, assisted by Harlene Patterson, will be your leaders this month.
And you will have learned a lot about the lives of many one, or more, of your ancestors.

The group hopes you will join them!

Kristy, Don, and Harlene
