Take a look at the options that suit you.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPer the RBWG website\, here are some details to explain more and give dates/times.\n“FreeWrite is the name given to an informal gathering of writers of ALL skill levels who meet to practice their writing in a friendly and nurturing atmosphere. The goal of the FreeWrites is to provide a place and an opportunity for people to have fun with their writing\, to explore different genres\, and to do this in the company of other writing enthusiasts. Each FreeWrite is facilitated by a Rehoboth Beach Writers Guild member who has experience in teaching\, writing and/or leading such groups. Participants write prose\, songs\, poetry and fiction\, work on novels during free writes\, and start short stories. Writing prompts are often (but not always) designed to focus on a particular aspect of writing: the use of sensory details\, the necessity of strong verbs\, the craft of writing dialogue.”\n\n\nI take myself by surprise. Writing at a FreeWrite! is like throwing a surprise party for yourself.  You never know what is going to spill out on your computer screen.  Is an evil twin lurking in the machinery? Or is it my fingers that somehow acquire access to long forgotten memories\, buried dreams and nightmares? No matter how many times I ask myself\, Where did that come from\,  No matter how many times I think I should have run out of surprises by now–something unexpected jumps out from where it’s been lurking behind a load of unpacked boxes in the basement of my mind.  I didn’t know I knew that\, I think.”\n​—Sarah Barnett \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMORE LOCAL OPPORTUNITIES TO WRITE\nTraditional FreeWrites \n(visit the website for updates: FreeWrites)–and please note holiday dates when classes will not be held\nMondays \n8-10 a.m.\nRehoboth Beach Library (please use the back door).Carl Frey\, Joanne Sinsheimer\, and Tom Hoyer will alternate leading.

SUMMARY:Banned Books/Silenced Voices
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of Banned Books Week\, the Lewes Public Library\, ACLU of Delaware\, Groome Church\, and Browseabout Books welcome Del Shakes Artistic Squad. \nLibraries in every state are facing an unprecedented number of attempts to ban books. In 2022 the American Library Association documented 1\,269 demands to censor library books and resources\, the highest number of attempted book bans since they began compiling data about censorship in libraries more than 20 years ago. \nWhen books are banned\, the voices of the author and the characters are silenced and readers are closed off to people\, places\, and perspectives. By standing up for stories\, the power that lies inside every book is unleashed\, and the array of voices that need to be heard and the scenes that need to be seen are liberated. Join us in the library or online as members of Del Shakes Artistic Squad bring the strength and the beauty of banned texts to life through dramatic readings. Stay afterwards for a moderated discussion led by Dr. Adenike Davidson on the readings and the issue of banning books. \nProfessional actors Mariah Ghant and Eric Mills\, both members of Del Shakes Artistic Squad\, will highlight the evening. Mariah often works with DelShakes\, playing the title role of Macbeth in their 2023 summer production in Wilmington. She also works as the Artistic Associate and Library Manager for the Wilma Theater in Philadelphia. Mariah developed and produced last season’s readings of Black Lucy\, Redux for the Lewes Public Library’s Shakespeare Festival. Eric Mills is a member of Del Shakes Artistic Squad and an avid reader. He has worked as an actor with many regional and local theaters and in the distant past dabbled in TV. He recently directed Shakespeare’s Playground for DelShakes and teaches theater around the region. He is thrilled to be back on stage with the incomparable Mariah Ghant. \nAdenike Marie Davidson is a professor of Literature and Gender Studies at Delaware State University and serves as the Board Chair for Delaware Humanities. Dr. Davidson is the author of the book\, The Black Nation Novel: Imaging Homplaces in Early African American Literature. Her scholarship focuses on reclaiming lost voices and texts\, understanding race and gender across texts and eras\, and connecting canonical and non-canonical texts to further examine the American experience. \nRegistration is required. \n\n\n\n\nEvent date:\n\nFriday\, October 6\, 2023 – 5:00pm to 6:30pm\n\n\n\nEvent address:\n\n\n\n111 Adams Avenue\n\nLewes\, DE 19958\n\n\n\n\nEvent Category:\n\nLewes Library Partner Event | Online\nLewes Library Partner Event | In-Person\nALL INFO AND PICS FROM WEBSITE: https://www.browseaboutbooks.com/event/banned-bookssilenced-voices

SUMMARY:Farmers Market @ Lewes7
DESCRIPTION:Who We Are\n\n\nPhoto by Helaine Harris\nThe Historic Lewes Farmers Market (HLFM) is a non-profit\, community-based\, producer-only\, farmers market. Started in the summer of 2006 by a group of volunteers\, the market has expanded to 30 plus vendors. \nWhat is a Community-based\, Producer-Only Farmers Market and How is it Different?\nA community-based\, producer-only farmers market is not just another retail enterprise. It is part of a growing environmental movement pioneering ways to save the land\, provide small farmers and small producers a way to stay in business\, and to educate our children about the food that we eat. \nIn addition to fresh produce\, eggs\, fruits\, breads\, baked goods\, meats\, fish\, cut-flowers and herbs\, the HLFM features workshops by local chefs (using food from the market)\, master gardeners\, wellness providers\, and sustainable agriculture experts. Best of all\, the market is a place where every Saturday and Wednesday mornings we meet our neighbors and make new friends\, making our community much stronger. \nPeople worldwide are rediscovering the benefits of buying local food. It is fresher than anything in the supermarket\, and that means that it tastes great and is more nutritious. It is also good for our local economy buying directly from family farmers and producers helps them keep their land. \n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy a Farmers Market in Lewes\, Delaware?\nThere have been numerous markets in and around the Lewes area for many decades. The historic square behind King’s Ice Cream (201 Second Street) has been documented as the site of an early market.  We have two locations in Lewes\, Delaware. Our Saturday market is located in the heart of Lewes\, Delaware\, and our Wednesday Market is also located in Lewes\, near Route 1. \nWhat is the HLFM Epworth Food Pantry Program?\nThe Historic Lewes Farmers (HLFM) partners with the Epworth United Methodist Church Food Pantry. HLFM customers who want to help feed the local community with fresh local food may purchase produce\, meats\, milk\, and other food from growers at the Market to donate to the Epworth program every Saturday. It’s so easy–all you have to do is let the vendor know what you want to donate or give $5\, $10\, $25 to the vendor and ask them to put together a selection for Epworth. You can also pre-order for Epworth from HLFM vendors that take pre-orders. At the end of the Market\, the produce and other foods are gathered and picked up by Epworth volunteers. We thank you for your generosity\, and if you have any questions\, please contact us: info@historiclewesfarmersmarket.org. \nWhat is the HLFM Gleaning Program?\nThe HLFM gleans (collects donations of extra produce) from the vendors at the end of each Saturday market\, organizes the produce\, and donates the excess produce to Casa San Francisco in Milton\, DE\, a charity which runs an Emergency Shelter\, a Food Cooperative and an Emergency Food Pantry. Over the past 13 years\, this program resulted in donations of over $55\,000 worth of fresh local food to Casa San Francisco. \n\n \n\n\n \n\nJoin Us!\nThe Historic Lewes Farmers Market needs volunteers. The volunteers help set up and take down the market every Saturday. They assist the chefs and others putting on market demonstrations\, and\, in general\, help the vendors during the market hours. You don’t need to have any expertise to volunteer. \nIf you’re interested in spending a few hours on a Saturday between May and November\, helping us at the market\, or want to volunteer to help us in other ways throughout the year\, please call us at 302-644-1436 or send an email to info@historiclewesfarmersmarket.org. \n
