I'm launching a group, as part of a reach-out campaign, to help others who are working to write and record their own stories -- or in some way preserve their personal or family history. Mostly, we'll meet and encourage each other on with our projects, but I'll also suggest resources and invite in other experts in the Des Moines area.
If you've been meaning to create your own memoir, find other resources to preserve photos, or research your ancestry then please attend and see if we can offer suggestions and ideas to each other.
I decided we needed a catchy name for such an ambitious group so I've dubbed it iPHAST which, contrary to being some gimmicky diet stands for Individual Personal HIstory and Archive Support Team. Catchy or strange, at least I can remember the name . . . and hopefully you can, too.
I'll be at the Smokey Row Coffee Shop located at 1910 Cottage Grove at 6 p.m. on February 23. There is no charge, except pick up the tab for your own coffee, ice cream, or whatever. We'll plan on an hour. Hope to see you there!
