Story Summit

Here are Write A Great Story Foundation scholarship recipients (L-R) Naz Pankey and Lisa Finn, in Santa Cruz last August for the Her Spirit Writing Retreat. They are joined by foundation board secretary, Stacey Powells.

We are reaching out to who can help with this year's scholarships for the Austin Film Festival, and the Okoboji Writers Retreat. Founder David Paul Kirkpatrick is walking 100,000 steps in 1 day at the end of the month for my 75th birthday.

Any and every contribution is appreciated and tax deductible. You can check in out here. Thank you!

Join us today for a Lunch and Learn session in which Patrick Connolly will host a lively and engaging discussion about Steven Spielberg's film Disclosure Day.

Drawing on his background as an actor, singer, and writer, Patrick will guide participants through an exploration of the film's themes, its storytelling craft, and what makes Spielberg's vision so compelling.

Whether you are a longtime Spielberg fan or simply curious about what this new release has in store, this session promises great conversation and a fun way to spend your lunch break.
