Would you like to get outside and walk in the company of others? The Putney Amblers is a casual walking group sponsored by Putney Public Library. Moseying with others is a great way to get out and be a part of a community group.
The Putney Amblers meet for walks at 3:00 pm on Wednesdays, changing spots and routes each week. Please feel free to join us on an impromptu basis, or email Susan Heimer to register to get weekly location and weather-related updates: heimer.susan@gmail.com or subscribe to the Putney Public Library weekly events newsletter. Walks will last from 60-90 minutes depending on the will of the group.

Putney Library Writing Group
2024-08-26 17:30 - 19:30, 2024-09-09 17:30 - 19:30, 2024-09-23 17:30 - 19:30
Every Other Monday at 6:30pm, starting July 1st at Putney Public Library.
All those who love to write, no matter what their level, will feel at home in this group. We will be meeting from 6:30pm to 8:30pm on alternating Mondays starting July 1st. Our dream is for people of ALL ages to attend to so the group will be diverse. The structure will be to write for a half an hour and then split up into groups to read to others and ask for as much critiquing as they would like. Then we will continue to write for another half an hour followed by forming small groups again. Finally the groups will come together to reassess how it all is going.
There will be a maximum of 12 people of all writers so you must register using this form: https://forms.gle/yqe1iuUFJrVRPWzFA
Lynn Levine and Cheryl Wilfong will lead the group.
Lynn is a forester and naturalist and has written 6 books with nature in mind. She finds writing an exercise that allows her mind to wander and be creative. More information about her can be found at Heartwoodpress.com .
Cheryl Wilfong is the author of The Meditative Gardener: Cultivating Mindfulness of Body, Feelings, and Mind (www.meditativegardener.com), winner of seven book awards. She is a polymath in accounting, psychotherapy, writing, publishing, and gardening. Her goal is to wake up to the present moment.
The Putney Public Library is located at 55 Main St. in Putney, VT. This program is free and open to the public.
