Storyteller’s Cafe

Dear Story Lovers,

It’s the beginning of autumn, back to school time and best of all… time for the next Storyteller’s Cafe!!!
Saturday, September 14th, at Morgan’s Mill, 1059 Court Street, Woodland.

Our list of amazing storytellers is lead by the remarkable Brandon Spars, who’s storytelling gifts have garnered him many prestigious awards, including winning a Moth StorySlam in Berkley and two GrandSLAM titles at the Castro Theater in San Francisco, among others. Additionally, Brandon has participated in storytelling at the highest level including a TEDx Sonoma County talk and he authored a highly acclaimed book–Live to Tell:Six Award-winning Tales. Joining Brandon is a lineup of some of the most popular storytellers from throughout the region.

The Storyteller’s Cafe continues to encourage donations and volunteers in support of the powerful work of Yolo CASA (www.yolocasa.org) and you’ll understand why when you hear the riveting true story from CASA Executive Director, Tracy Fauver, of a father’s determination to be reunited with his kids and the powerful role played by his children’s CASA volunteers during their time in the foster care system.

Doors open at 5pm–we suggest you come early to guarantee a seat (last Cafe was standing room only), enjoy food and drink with your friends and meet the tellers. The program will begin promptly at 6pm and end by 8:30, with a short break in the middle.

Our community of story-lovers continues to grow–come join the fun at this unique, intimate evening of entertainment and if any of you would like to tell a tale at a future Cafe, please let me know.

See you there!!!!
Laurie
