Class size is limited to 10 participants. If this class reaches capacity by the registration deadline of October 3, we will offer a second Memoir Writing Class on 2nd & 4th Tuesdays. Please register here and add yourself to the waiting list if this class reaches capacity so we know if there is interested in a second class.
