October is the first full month of fall. Migrations of various birds, insects, and other wildlife have begun. Apple harvest is in full swing. Corn stalks, jack-o-lanterns, gourds, Chrysanthemums, along with other fall and Halloween decorations adorn homes and businesses. Crisp air envelops us accompanied by the brilliant tree foliage changes to scarlet, orange, and yellow. As dark nights grow longer gripped by frost, shadowy figures loom larger on moon lit landscapes.

This is a time to share stories of mystery, supernatural happenings, and things that go bump in the night. It is time for tales of perseverance, traditional stories from North American tribes, or the lore of any culture about dark and stormy nights. This is the time to gather your stories to learn, tell, and share.

Just tell your story from the heart and let it wrap your listeners in a warm embrace, a world of fantasy, a thrilling experience, or a useful lesson.  Whatever you choose will be a gift only you can deliver.

For our Monthly Meeting, on Wednesday, October 3, 2018 from 6:30 – 8:30 PM we will meet in the Levenson Community Room on the first floor of the Portsmouth Public Library in Portsmouth, NH. Please bring whatever story you have to tell. Our evening agenda will include storytelling by our members and any business updates members wish to report.

Any questions or concerns, contact Seacoast Storytellers Coordinator, Debra Ballou, via seacoaststorytellersnh@gmail.com or 603-749-9634. I look forward to seeing you all at our monthly meeting.
