Presents April Newsletter
Open Mic, Scholarship, and Progenitor Celebration
A free writing workshop for active duty military, veterans and / or their families. Writing about both the positive and negative aspects of military family life can serve as both a creative outlet and a therapeutic activity. If the stories are then shared with the wider public, our culture can come to more fully understand the realities experienced not only by those who serve in the military, but also by their families.
