The McKinney Center and StoryTown will be hosting their first “evening edition” of Listening Day on Thursday, June 11th from 5:30 – 7:30 pm at the Jonesborough Senior Center. “We hope this later time will encourage people who might work or have other obligations during the day to swing by and share their stories after work,” says Program Manager Anne Mason. Area residents are encouraged to come and share stories about farming or growing up on a farm, stories about being a teacher, service stories from the Armed Forces, and memories of your father or a father figure in your life. If any of these topics spark memories, come by the Senior Center that evening to share a story. Other stories are welcome, too. Everyone has a story to tell.
These stories may be used as source material for the monthly StoryTown Radio Show or for the annual community play. To schedule a time during Listening Day, call the McKinney Center at 423-753-0562 to reserve a thirty-minute time slot, you can also call the Senior Center at 423-753-4781 or stop by there in person. Groups and families are also welcome to come and share stories together. If you’re not available that day but would like to share a story, please contact the McKinney Center directly.
Listening Day will be held at the Senior Center, located at 307 East Main Street in Jonesborough. You do not have to be a member of the center to come to Listening Day.
