Knowing the steps of a writing process is helpful. Watching an actual piece travel through them is even better.
Join us on Thursday, September 24 at 11am when Bridget Burke takes you inside the writer’s studio and demonstrate how a project develops from an untidy beginning into a finished piece. Together, we will follow personal, creative, and professional examples through better questions, possible structures, manageable sections, drafting, revision, and final review.
You will see how the writer evaluates ChatGPT’s suggestions, accepting some, changing others, and occasionally explaining that it has wandered rather confidently in the wrong direction. The goal is not to collect more tricks. It is to understand how thoughtful decisions gradually bring a piece to life.
By the end of the class, you will have a practical model for guiding your own writing from the first collection of thoughts to something clear, complete, and ready to share.

Woodacre Improvement Club

On Sunday, September 27, the San Geronimo Valley Community Center is excited to welcome home Valley native Josh Witt to host the very first Swingin’ in the Valley!&nbsp; The community dance kicks off at 5pm at the Woodacre Improvement Club.
A performing musician, bandleader, and San Geronimo Valley favorite, Josh first took the stage at the Community Center during the 2005 St. Patrick’s Day Talent Show. Since then, he has earned a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance from Berklee College of Music, spent nearly a decade performing in Boston, and now leads his own swing, rock ‘n’ roll, and doo-wop band, Josh and the Wittness (pun very much intended). More recently, Josh began hosting community swing dance events while also dipping his toes into becoming an instructor. He is excited to bring all these new explorations and talents back to his hometown.
The evening begins with a one-hour beginner-friendly swing dance lesson led by Josh. No experience or partner is necessary—participants will learn the basics of Lindy Hop and gain the confidence to enjoy the dance floor throughout the night.
Following the lesson, guests will dance to two one-hour live music sets, with a 15-minute intermission between them. At the end of the break, Josh will lead everyone in the Shim Sham, the iconic three-minute Lindy Hop line dance that originated in the tap dancing tradition and has become a beloved swing dance classic.
Whether you plan to dance all night or simply enjoy the music and lively atmosphere, everyone is welcome. Perimeter seating will be available for guests who prefer to watch rather than dance. Beer / Wine / N/A Drinks and Light Refreshments will be available.
Swingin’ in the Valley also offers the perfect opportunity to dust off your dancing shoes before the Community Center’s Heart of the Valley Benefit on Saturday, October 10, featuring live music by Big Sandy and His Fly-Rite Boys.
5:00pm - One hour Dance Lesson
6:00pm - Community Dance with Live Music
7:00pm - Band Intermission*
*learn the Shim Sham! Lindy Hop’s premiere line dance
7:30pm - Second set of dance and music

First Presbyterian San Anselmo

Program:
Matt Rupert (b. 1984) premiere: Other Worlds
Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major. Jim Stopher, piano
From its revolutionary opening bars, Beethoven's Fourth Piano Concerto breaks the mold for soloistic expressivity. Composed in 1805-06 and publicly premiered in 1808, it became Beethoven's final performance as a piano soloist, as his increasing deafness drew him out of the spotlight. Soloist Jim Stopher said, "Beethoven's G Major concerto is a stunning combination of virtuosity and vigor on the one hand, and lyrical intimacy on the other. It strikes me as Beethoven's most personal and deeply felt concerto." 
Jim Stopher is enthusiastic about bringing music to residents of Marin County, both through his work at the College of Marin and with initiatives in community organizations including the Marin Philosophical Society, San Rafael Algebra Academy, Chamber Musicians of Northern California, and solo concerto appearances with the Mill Valley Philharmonic, the Marin Symphony Youth Orchestra, and the Lucas Valley Chamber Orchestra. 
Taking Gustav Holst's The Planets (1914-17) as inspiration, Other Worlds, by San Francisco composer Matt Rupert, goes beyond the concept of setting the original eight known planets to music. It taps into the mythological and scientific features of more recently discovered exterrestrial bodies. Other Worlds is scored for chamber orchestra with electric guitar and enhanced percussion and will be performed with visual projections by Damon Mahoney.
Daniel Canosa will conduct. Artist's reception to follow. The church has designated accessible parking and all event areas are wheelchair accessible. ECHO website:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.echorchestra.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">echorchestra.com/</a> Info:
