2017-03-25 10:30 - 12:00 (America/New_York) | Rundel Library Building, 115 South Ave., Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
In the Rundel Arts Room on the 1st floor of the Rundel Building, Lisa Kleman will present the first of a four-part series titled Writing Your Family History.
Perhaps you are the family storyteller, remembering the tales told by those who have passed. Or perhaps you are the genealogist, collecting the facts and photos and relationships. You often say, "I should write this down. I should tell their story, my story." Well, this is the time to do it! Whether you are a beginning or an experienced writer, join us in this four-week workshop and preserve your family's history for the future. Lisa Kleman has been teaching writing courses for more than two decades, both at the college level and for community workshops. Currently, Lisa is researching and writing a book and articles about her own Rochester relatives (the Dossenbachs), as well as giving local talks (at the George Eastman Museum, the Century Club, Historic Brighton, Greece Historical Society, and for Rundel's Rochester's Rich History Series).

The past and present, celebrity and spiritually come to a head one frenetic weekend when her younger sister Sarah arrives unexpectedly. Chelsea must explain her sister, and the lifestyle she kept a secret, to Mike, an attorney struggling with his own ethical priorities, and to Maureen Nash an aggressive journalist who arrives with a photographer for an interview (during which Chelsea, with a rather un-Amish-like attitude, pummels the photographer into surrendering the film he has shot of Sarah!) Sarah and Mike together help Chelsea to accept and acknowledge the power of her Amish heritage and to move toward a future she had not expected.
