SUMMARY:Possum Point Players presents\, THE LIFE AND ADVENTURES OF SANTA CLAUS
DESCRIPTION:THE LIFE AND ADVENTURES OF SANTA CLAUS\n\n    by Pat Cook\n\n    based on the book by L. Frank Baum\n\n\n\nHave you ever wondered just where Santa Claus came from? L. Frank Baum knew. The same man who created The Wonderful Wizard of Oz lets us in on his secret: the story of Saint Nicholas as told to him by Necile\, the nymph who found Claus and raised him as her own in the world of Knooks\, Faeries\, Ryls and\, yes\, even the dreaded Awgwas.\n\n \n“Beware the Awgwas\,” Necile warns Claus. “they hide under beds to frighten human children!” And so Claus decides he must leave the world of the Immortals and live among the humans\, making toys to make children happy. He gets help from Jack Frost\, who shows him the Frost Gale\, allowing Claus and his sleigh to fly\, and from two runaway Knooks\, Lem and Barlo\, who want to hear the children laugh.\n\n \nThis delightful tale answers once and for all how Santa Claus made the first toy\, why he climbs down chimneys and\, most of all\, how he learned to laugh that great “Ho\, ho\, ho.”

SUMMARY:RBWG "Free Writes"\, non-members invited!
DESCRIPTION:Weekly creative writing “FreeWrites” sponsored by the Rehoboth Beach Writers Guild \n\nFriday\, 9-11am | Millville Town Hall\n36404 Club House Rd.\, Millville DE 19967 | for details\, email RBWG member and Free Write facilitator\, Lynn Massey: Book Mom42@yahoo.com (pls note. classes continue through the winter\, except no classes will be held on Friday 11/25\, 12/23 or 12/30) \n  \nThursdays\, 10:30am – 12:30pm | South Coastal Library\n43 Kent Avenue\, Bethany Beach\, DE 19930 | Pls. note classes continue through winter\, except no classes will be held on Thursdays 11/24\, 12/22 and 12/29. Then in January\, some classes will be facilitated at the library via zoom as the facilitator\, Paul McFarlane will be traveling. Reach Paul as needed through email: falconfan62@verizon.net. Sign up for this FreeWrite session on the library website \n\nTHANKS PAUL MACFARLANE AND LYNN  MASSEY FOR SHARING THE OPPORTUNITY!!!\nFYI: Readers can reach out to share activities and events by emailing us Connect@DelawareRetiree.com\nSeveral times weekly RBWG members facilitate a FreeWrite open to all. 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:Possum Point Players presents\, THE LIFE AND ADVENTURES OF SANTA CLAUS
DESCRIPTION:THE LIFE AND ADVENTURES OF SANTA CLAUS\n\n    by Pat Cook\n\n    based on the book by L. Frank Baum\n\n\n\nHave you ever wondered just where Santa Claus came from? L. Frank Baum knew. The same man who created The Wonderful Wizard of Oz lets us in on his secret: the story of Saint Nicholas as told to him by Necile\, the nymph who found Claus and raised him as her own in the world of Knooks\, Faeries\, Ryls and\, yes\, even the dreaded Awgwas.\n\n \n“Beware the Awgwas\,” Necile warns Claus. “they hide under beds to frighten human children!” And so Claus decides he must leave the world of the Immortals and live among the humans\, making toys to make children happy. He gets help from Jack Frost\, who shows him the Frost Gale\, allowing Claus and his sleigh to fly\, and from two runaway Knooks\, Lem and Barlo\, who want to hear the children laugh.\n\n \nThis delightful tale answers once and for all how Santa Claus made the first toy\, why he climbs down chimneys and\, most of all\, how he learned to laugh that great “Ho\, ho\, ho.”
