Upcoming Teaching Events
Aug 26th, 2009 by Lynette Benton
Shoot me an email for more information about the courses and how to register for them: Relief11@comcast.net.
I’ll be teaching Writing Life Stories at the Arlington Center for the Arts, starting in January 18, 2012, and Creative Writing at the Arlington Senior Center and the Waltham Senior Center—also starting in January 2012. (We tend to focus on writing life stories in the senior center classes, too.)
My teen creative writing classes at Robbins Library, in Arlington, Mass. (free!) will resume in January 2012.
I’ll also be teaching Writing Stories from Your Life at Minuteman High School in Lexington in the Spring. I’ll let you know more about that when we get closer to the date and you can register online.
Just contact me at relief11@comcast.net for details about these fun classes. (Check out my testimonials to see how much my students enjoy themselves while learning to write better.)
I hope you’ll join us. (As an inducement, I should tell you: we have pastries!)


Hi, Lynette…didn’t have an email address for you, but wanted you to accept my thanks for the knowledge and experience you share with us in the group still in session at the Waltham Senior Center; so many pieces of info I’ve not even thought about since high school days..slowly returning to the front of my mind.
I have a conflict for the Friday, Nov. 13th 1:30 timeslot and cannot be present at that time; will definitely be there for Nov. 18th session at 1pm for the Bentley students and then continue with your program. Take Care…LuLu
WOW, your blog looks great and it is inspiring. I am a late bloomer too. Thanks for the encouragement.
Hi, Renee:
Thanks for your comment. I just took a quick look at your web site. You wouldn’t happen to have some suggestions for getting rid of hot flashes? I’ve suffered from them for years! Tx.

Time to update your upcoming events page, Lynette. Love and hugs, Phyl
Surprise me with a non-snarky comment!
Have you got some upcoming events? Be well and warm. Liz
I’ll be teaching at Arlington Senior Center in April, Lexington Minuteman in May. Still teaching in Waltham and Westwood. How are you?
I’m sending you Polish and Publish. Enjoy.
Hello again, Lynette!
Awesome job!

Are you the Lynette I knew and loved in the 70s as a colleague at the dysfunctional CCED? Will be at your Robbins Library/Arlington presentation. Can’t believe I found you after all these years! I write too, and am looking for courage.
Cindy
Yes, I am she! Looking forward to seeing you at my writing workshop.
Hi Lynette,
I’ve been checking out your site, and I love so many of the things you’ve said about writing memoir. I see you follow your inner guidance about how to write. I’ll bet you are a great teacher.
I’d love to hear more about your memoir “My Mother’s Money.” Sounds like a fresh idea—your life of course, and difficult material to unearth, but still a surprising filter through which to explore the past and tell a story.
Hope this reaches you. Could not find another way to contact you.
All my best,
Lisa Dale Norton

Thank you, Lisa. I *am* a great teacher, and as I told you, I use your book in my classes!
I also retweet your sensitive wisdom about writing memoir. I’ll be in touch with you directly through email.
