Storytelling Salon
Storytelling Salon is an interest group for members to socialize and share stories with one another. We start with a happy hour with hors d’oeuvres and beverages (bring your favorite to share), and then we move into our stories. Whether you prefer to read your story or present it without notes, you’ll have an opportunity to share whatever your heart desires, including tales of lost love, wild times, and strange people!
Fashioned after The Moth events, speakers have just five minutes to present. But instead of voting for winners (which happens at The Moth events), listeners just offer up their compliments about content, craft, and delivery. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes discussing a particular aspect of craft.
These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers except during winter months (Jan-Apr) when we meet on Zoom.
