Wartime Memory Sharing and Luncheon


Saturday, November 10th, 11 a.m. - 2 p.m., Almaden Community Center.
Memories of Service Overseas and at Home
The Almaden Branch Library and the Almaden Community Center are co-sponsoring a Wartime Memory Sharing event. Our special guest, Major Don Clawson (ret.), will be speaking on his career in the United States Air Force during the height of the Cold War tensions. In addition, he will be sharing his experiences related to the task of writing about difficult and painful war memories. Afterwards, participants will get a chance to write their memoirs about wartime experiences, whether they were enlisted, or if they were on the home front, perhaps going to work for the first time because of the war. Afterwards, a light luncheon will be served and there will be an opportunity for open sharing and discussion. To sign up for the event, please call 808-3040, or visit the Almaden Library Information Desk. Signing up in advance is not required, but it is helpful to obtain a rough headcount for the luncheon.
