KOPN's Porch Light Storytelling

After a hiatus, YOU are invited to come together to connect through the sharing of personal stories in a safe, supportive environment. No experience is necessary to participate. All are welcome to speak or simply listen.

How it works: Contact Jackie through The Porch Light Facebook page, or show up when doors open to add your name to the list of storytellers. When your name is called, you get seven minutes (or less) to tell any story you'd like, or one inspired by the theme. 
*THEME: TBA*
