Creative Writing: Memoir
with MindEdge Instructor, MSAD#1 Adult & Community Education
Do you have a story to tell? Most of us do—correction, we all do. Every one of us, by virtue of being human, has experiences and insights that are worth retelling. But how can we tell those stories in a way that other people will want to read them and learn from them? Memoir is the art of taking scenes from our past and presenting them to an audience, not simply for the sake of telling a story but to inform, entertain, and establish an emotional bond with our readers. By exploring memories and examining our lives, we also learn a lot about ourselves.

ZUMBA Session 2
with Robin Lovell, Wells-Ogunquit Adult Community Education
Robin's Zumba® classes have been running strong for over 17 years through the Wells Ogunquit Adult Ed. Zumba® is dance exercise for people who don't consider themselves dancers but love to dance. The hour flies by and you will get a great workout. Robin uses fun, high energy music and the moves are basic and repeated enough times so that you really know them. Plus one of the best things about Zumba® is the emphasis on modifying the moves to make them your own. Questions about the class? Contact Robin via her Zumba website (Robin Lovell - Instructor Page (zumba.com), or Wells-Ogunquit Adult Ed.
