Paschal's storyteling last year...

Last school year, (2009-2010) now a sort of "swan song" year, I told stories at Deep Springs, Dixie, Bryan Sta Middle, Tates Creek, Yates, and regularly at Cassidy, Liberty, Providence Montessori, Active Day Adult, Richmond Place seniors, and the Fayette Co Detention Center. That was Just Fayette Co. Told also, entire school assembly, at Southern Elementary in Scott County and several times in Jessamine and also in Madison county in Richmond and Berea. A total of about 3400 children and adults.

Venues also included Camp Shalom, day camp at Emmanuel Episcopal in Winchester and the program at Castlewood Park, Natashas Cafe and Common Ground Coffee Cafe.

I developed and tauught a course on the Power of Story through the university of Kentucky OLLI (Donovan) program which I will repeat this fall, starting Sept 29, at Temple Adath Israel on Ashland Ave.

This year I need to cut back. I shall have, with the help of my wife and friends like Charlie Eyer, one more "Easter" year, planning to tell only at some of the above. esp Cassidy where my grandkids are and Liberty which is the closest and one of my favorites and the closest to my home, the other four being more optional.

I plan also to continue to work with our Dream Catchers Spellbinders group to perform for community groups am also recently working on catching and creative new stories that combine the great stories of Evolution and Genesis to tell Who We Are and How We Got Here and What this mystery of Existence is.
