While you may be familiar with Maeley Tom’s beautiful rendition of many favorite standards at ACC concerts, she has also written and published a well-received memoir, I’m Not Who You Think I Am: An Asian American Woman’s Political Journey. Maeley will be sharing her writing techniques and tips as the keynote speaker at the Our Life Stories Virtual Conference on Saturday, April 30, 2022.
Since 2007, the Sacramento Hart Senior Center and Cosumnes River College (CRC) have co-sponsored a very well attended annual one day intergenerational writers conference at CRC. Last year, ACC also became an event sponsor. The conference workshops, readings, and panel discussions focus on encouraging individuals of all ages, but particularly older adults, to create their memoirs. While some attendees have been actively writing for years, many more are just getting started. The Conference is an outgrowth of the ongoing Our Life Stories workshops that the Hart Center has hosted for years and ACC is also now offering.
This event will be held again virtually this year via Zoom to ensure everyone’s health and safety. Enrollment is limited so we encourage you to register soon. For presenter information and further details please visit www.OurLifeStories.org.
Lora Connolly is an ACC Board member and the instructor for ACC’s Your Life Story Workshop.
