5 Dates/Time to Fill for Provo Pioneer Village--
The following dates are still needed: July 1st, July 29th, August 5th, August 19th, August 26th
Provo Pioneer Village is starting a storytelling evening on Monday nights throughout the summer - June through August. Elaine Brewster is seeking tellers who would each like to come tell on a Monday night (6-7 pm). The telling will be outside under a canopy—intimate enough for small groups, but open enough for a larger group. If it rains, we can duck into the Carriage
House. The sweet little Village is located in Provo on 5th West between 5th and 6th North. This telling evening gives an opportunity to tell old tales or Pioneer tales. But people of that era simply told stories, so really, any story, even personal stories, would be appropriate. The point is for people to get together in the “old-fashioned tradition” of listening to stories. It is volunteer. First come, first served. If interested, contact Elaine at
brewstersinger@me.com.
Up to 10 Spots to Fill--all do not need to be filled though as many as possible is the goal--Volunteer Storytelling--
Alta View Elementary in Sandy, Utah is having a summer reading program at the school library, Roadrunners Read!, on Tuesdays from 9-11 a.m. from June 11-August 13 (10 sessions). They plan to have a storytime in the Kiva area at 9:30 a.m., 10:00 a.m., and 10:30 a.m. at each session. Contact Allyn Kau for questions a
well as to exchange emails by calling (562) 712-2450. Then Allyn can email volunteer applications through Canyons School District and the event itself.

Event: 37th Story Crossroads Fundraising House Concert
Date/Time: Saturday, June 1, 2019, 7:00pm-8:30pm
Featured Story Artist: Dale H. Boam
Theme: "So My Grandfather and I...": Don't Worry, The Statute of Limitations Has Passed
Dale H. Boam's Grandpa thought the idea of fun was never, strictly speaking, always what you would objectively call "safe." During his life as a veterinarian, he had broken his fingers so many times he could point at all nine planets and one near-earth
object at the same time. Broken bones were just expected, and sometimes, just sometimes, hilarious. Dale has a varied resume as he is a liar, lawyer, tenured languages professor, certified ASL Interpreter, and voice-over actor. He would call himself a Renaissance Man, but he can't do math.
Suggested Donation: $15.00+/person, $25.00+/couple or family, though any amount welcomed, best for teens and adults
