Back Cove Books, 651 Forest Ave
Head down to Back Cove Books to hear why two national award-winning storytellers and proud social workers encourage everyone to share personal stories for themselves and their communities! Theresa Okokon is a writer, storyteller, and co-host of the national media program Stories From The Stage. Cheryl Hamilton is the founder and executive director of Stellar Story Company, which helps people and institutions deliver meaningful stories. The two met at an open mic in Boston in 2012, shortly after moving to the city, but neither imagined how that fateful night would change their lives professionally and personally.
This event is hosted by Donna Galluzzo, a Portland-based storyteller and founder of 207 Realty Partners. Learn More >>>

March 30: Final Winter 2025 Ripe for Repair Meetup
 Sunday, March 30, 2 - 5pm
Odd Fellows Hall, 651 Forest Avenue, 2nd Floor
Repair Meetups are free community events where people come together to help each other fix everything from small home appliances to damaged textiles. They’re about celebrating under- appreciated skills and learning new ones, holding on to things that take a lot of resources to make but can quickly end up in landfills, and connecting with other humans. Experts, novices and curious spectators welcome!
Bring something that needs repair – small electrical appliances, housewares, speakers, bicycle wheel and a spare tire, mending and darning projects, toys, clothing, and more!
