Letter Writing Socials in Calgary
I’ve been hosting Letter Writing Socials in Calgary for about two years now. It is one of the most daring things I’ve done, being an introvert, yet one of the most fun things too.
Daring because you just never know if anyone will show up, so I’ve gotten quite comfortable being in a cafe just me and my hoard of typewriters. Most times though, I’m not alone for long as the lure of the ‘click,clack, zzzzzzzzzip’ is hard for people to resist.
Should you be toying with the idea of getting a few friends together or hosting a Letter Writing Social yourself, I can help. I would love to share with you what I’ve learned so you can host your own Letter Writing Social.
Often those that join me are of the younger crowd. I would say the University set or the young working professional. I love introducing them to the typewriter and the concept of writing letters. Seriously fun when you get to see their face when I explain there is no ‘delete’ key.
Realizing that your September calendars fill up fast, I wanted to share the next Letter Writing Social in Calgary is September 14th.
See you there?
Your blog posts and encouragement have been a big help to me in planning for the Guernsey Letter Writers Society… 2 weeks to go!
Jessica, I’m so glad my wee ramblings have helped you to make this happen! I’m so excited that you are doing this. Take lots of pics, even if only you, cause that’s were it starts (although I’m sure this won’t be the case). Happy letter writing.
