Stories are such an important part of  the building of our work lives

&  StoryCorps has recently been recognized as an important collector of stories.
Their recordings are stories of people in all walks of life, often talking about important moments in their lives.

And we will have an opportunity to listen to the founder of this nationwide project, David Isay, on Wed. Aug. 5, 7 p.m. at the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center in Gt. Barrington.

For BCC students, this is a special BCC FORUM event. Free admission for BCC students who pre-register by noon on Thursday, July 30th. Call 413-236-5201 to sign up.

The core of StoryCorps is listening. It’s about honoring another human being by simply listening to their story.
