The writing group is comprised of Joslyn Center members of varying ages and diverse backgrounds. Some have experience writing while others have taken it up as a hobby in retirement. Participants in the close-knit group have been meeting regularly – some for over 15 years – to share their stories, offer constructive criticism, and encourage each other.

“We congratulate the writing group on this tremendous achievement,” said Joslyn Center Executive Director Jack Newby. “They have come together in the midst of a pandemic to collaborate and support one another in a way that only a shared history and a common interest can provide.”
