Reminisce and Record Your Family History
Have you ever been transported back to a particular time and place on the opening notes of a song? Has an object ever reminded you of a long ago relative? Sights, sounds, and artifacts can all trigger memories that in turn lead to remembering stories of one's past. This is the theory behind reminisce kits, which contain select memorabilia intended to stimulate remembering. Elders, their kids and grandkids are invited to come and learn about reminisce kits, how to use them, and how to make your own. Then share some of your own stories with your family members. This interactive workshop - co-hosted by Ridge Meadows Seniors Society,  MRPM Seniors Network, and the Literacy Committee - is suitable for multigenerational family groups as well as professionals who work with seniors.

Location: Social Activity Room, Ridge Meadows Seniors Activity Centre, 12150 - 224 Street, Maple Ridge
Free but pre-registration required: 604 466 8254 or coordinator@communityliteracy.ca
