A while back, we held a session we called “getting to know you” aimed at having fun while strengthening our community. It was lots of fun, and many of you asked that we do something similar again. So here it is!
For this “getting to know you” event, participants will have the opportunity to briefly tell others about their lives, and to listen to others tell their (abbreviated) life stories. We often know people around town enough for a casual “hello”, but know little of their background, how they happen to live here, or what they are passionate about. During our two hour session, you will have the opportunity to share life stories, one on one, with 3 people you don’t know well. You may share as little or as much as you want about yourself. Then there will be an opportunity to share something you learned, or found especially interesting with the whole group.
Before the event it may be helpful to consider what you might most want to share, as there will be a short time limit as each person shares. If you need some prompts, here are some questions you could ask yourself:
What would I like to know about others?
What might others find interesting in my life story?
What am I most proud of?
My best and / or worst job?
My lIfe highlights?
An embarrassing moment? A funny story?
We are looking forward to getting to know you!! Please join us on March 10th 2pm at Pine Grove Community House. Manzanita
