“Writing Your Memoirs”


Take a joyful journey of fun and family, share your experiences, and get the inspiration (and the tools) to learn how to write memoirs.


Author Joan Day of Concord will present “Writing Your Memoirs,” based on her book Thinking of Yesterday Today  at the Epsom Public Library on Wednesday, May 11, at 7:00 p.m.


Joan began her writing career in 2001 after retiring as a human resources administrator for the State of New Hampshire. She wanted to record her childhood memories in book form so that she could share her stories and teach others a little history of New Hampshire.


After many months of reminiscing with family members and attending writing seminars, Joan wrote and published Thinking of Yesterday Today, a heartwarming collection of childhood memoirs about growing up on a dairy farm in Bath, New Hampshire, during the 1940s and 1950s. She takes readers on a journey, sharing her childhood memories of fun and togetherness on her family’s farm.


During her 45 minute presentation, Joan captivates audiences with her stories of childhood fun and family togetherness on the family farm. It was a time of country capers, cows and calamities. She also encourages audience members to share their experiences and gives them the motivation, guidance and tips on writing memoirs for their families and future generations.


During her presentation, Joan will:
• Share tales of the “good old days” through passages of her book.
• Inspire audiences to recall their childhood memories.
• Provide tips on writing memoirs and discuss why this is a special gift for family members.
• Host a question and answer session.
Refreshments will be served.  Come join us for a fun-filled, enjoyable evening.

Letter


To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom and Pittsfield:
Wednesday should have been a short session, but quite a few Representatives decided that they had license to speak as long as they wished! We passed ten bills at once, then agreed to Senate amendments on three bills.


SB57, increasing the maximum allowable rate on title loans to 25% per month, offered opponents a chance to lecture us on the evils of debt and high interest rates while the proponents talked about freedom of choice. We finally passed the bill, 180-171, with Dan and I voting for it, Jon Richardson against, while Tony Soltani did not make the session.


SB156, allowing car dealers to register cars and send the fees to towns as well as the state, was vigorously debated. Some tried to convince us that auto dealers were incapable of remitting the taxes to towns, properly filling out title applications, or determining which addresses are in which towns; we’ve registered cars at dealers when we lived in other states and never heard of problems with the process. The bill finally passed, 176-166, with Dan and I voting for it, Jon against. SB91, forbidding towns to mandate sprinklers in homes, was another opportunity to lecture the Houses. It passed, 223-91, with Jon voting against.


SB78, which ended the surcharge on vehicle registration on passage, had a committee amendment to cut the gas tax by 5 cents/gallon instead. That would be the same expected decrease to the Highway Fund, but shared among all drivers rather than just those with May and June birthdays. It’s a gimmick, agreed, but a well-intentioned one. It’s fairer, and some gas stations will decrease their prices due to the tax cut. It’s not enough per person to be really useful, but it will help a little. The amendment was adopted, 201-108, and the bill passed, 208-98, with Dan and I in favor and Jon opposed.
