Bitterroot Valley's best source for local news!
The Bitterroot Star online calendar is only for community events that are free and events that would be fundraisers for local non-profit organizations.
When submitting an event, be sure to include date(s), time, venue (location), and organizer information. Your event will not be published if any of this information is missing. We review all events before we post them. This may take up to 2 business days.
This workshop is both in person and via Zoom.
You have a wealth of incredible stories in you. Join host Marc Moss of Tell Us Something as he guides you on a journey of finding your own story. Marc will help you shape that story into one you can share with the class group. We will learn about the sense of place in a story through observation of the natural surroundings, learn about story arc, and learn how to better speak in front of a crowd. The workshop is open to all ages and abilities.
Please register on our calendar; you will receive a Zoom link in your confirmation email. You may also attend in person in our community room, with a mask and distancing in place. Marc will join us via Zoom.
