Adults: join us on June 10th to learn how to bind your own book and start to fill it with writing and art! We'll use a variety of papers and materials to create our own simple signature books, then play around with Telling Room prompts to generate some writing and art inside. All materials provided; no experience needed. To register now, visit: https://www.hisawyer.com/the-telling-room/schedules/activity-set/1906208?source=camps

What a powerful feeling it was to hear our whole community chant the words "I was destined to have a vast and creative mind" along with poet and alum Sophia Kapita at Paint the Town Read! We're so grateful to everyone who came out and braved the rain to join us, building momentum as we aim to raise $150,000 by June 30th. Today, we’re 76% to our goal, with $36,000 remaining to be raised.

Every gift we receive through the end of June is being matched up to $60,000 thanks to a group of generous Telling Room donors. Right now, we're less than $6,000 away from receiving the full match—but we need your help to reach this milestone. To make a donation today, visit: https://www.tellingroom.org/donate

And thank you to videographer Chris Tucker for capturing some of the highlights from our annual celebration of The Telling Room and its impact in this video here.
