Featured Keynote Programs

Writing for seniors.

Everyone has a history that is both individual and interesting. However recording these memories for future generations can often seem too difficult. Where to begin? How to involve your reader and not just write lists of dates and names? Goldie will help you set down your life and shape these events so you will be proud of what you have achieved and your records of these.

Encouraging your kids to read and become more literate

In an age of texts and emails, our language can feel corrupted. What makes things harder for parents is that children often seem more interested in images and less in the written word. But reading and writing are integral to our well being. Reseatch porves that stories often force us to empathize with characters who are quite different from us, and this ability could help us better understand the many kinds of people we come across in the real world.

Goldie will show how fiction can facilitate a love of reading and the written word and help your child to mature.
