Dear Bret,
Thank you to everyone who attended this year’s Tales of Our Lives.
On Saturday, April 12, we hosted approximately 250 people at Northern Sky Theater’s Gould Theater where six slammers used their honesty, wit, strength, and grace to tell their stories.
As is true every year, Tales proves that you cannot judge a book by its cover. The women in this year’s event are prominent members of our community as artists, business owners, or executive directors. Their personal stories remind us that there is more to someone than their professional title or what we see on the outside.
Among the stories shared, we learned about a mother struggling with infertility, a young girl who had deep insecurities, and a woman dealing with a debilitating medical condition.
No matter the circumstances, each woman demonstrated how resiliency and perseverance made them stronger and wiser. The slammers reminded us that we cannot control everything that happens in our lives, but we can control how we react.
Thank you to everyone who supported this event! We look forward to seeing you at next year’s Tales of Our Lives.
We would like to extend extra special thanks to:
- Our story slammers: Mona Christensen, Allyson Fleck, Jodi Rose Gonzales, Beth Hudak, Lisa Harper, and melaniejane. Thank you for your honesty and courage to tell your story.
- Tadych’s Marketplace and Main Street Market for donating refreshments.
- Heidi Hodges Photography for capturing images of our event.
- Cathy Grier for her beautiful musical accompaniment.
- Northern Sky Theater for their collaboration and support of our slammers.
