July 2007

"Annette, Marilyn and Sherry volunteered with the department of Continuing Education- Arts & Science, Storytelling Festival. They gave of their time and talents freely, donating a tremendous amount of time. The women's greatest contribution was towards a study guide that the department was trying to develop. Annette, Marilyn and Sherry took an idea and developed the guide into a tool that could be placed on the website immediately. They were more than willing to volunteer their time, talent, and expertise to accomplish the goals and mission of the festival"  To see the study guide for the St. Louis Storytelling Festival.
