Lunch from 11:15 to 12:45. Lunch is FREE to the first 150 who show up first to register that morning. There will be a musician during lunch and storytelling by Professional Storyteller Debbie Dunn toward the end of that time period.
Professional Storyteller Debbie Dunn recently told stories at a nursing home in Greeneville, Tennessee. The five stories I told are now available to be viewed on YouTube. You can easily see my storytelling style in these shows. Feel free to share this with any others who you think might be interested.
First story performed was Richard Chase’s tale called “Jack and the King’s Girl.”
Second story performed was a true story. It really happened in Oak Ridge, Tennessee many years ago to the grandmother of a 5th-grade girl I met. To protect her grandmother’s privacy, I transformed it into a Jack tale. It is called “Jack and the Bull.”
Third story performed was Nancy Van Laan’s beautiful Lenape Indian legend called “Rainbow Crow.” Out of all the stories I tell, this is my husband’s favorite.

Have a wonderful day and best wishes to you and yours,
When Attacked by a Bully, Where Do You Fall on the Continuum?
Should you be attacked by a bully, where on the continuum will your behavior fall? Will it be closer to FIGHT or FLIGHT? Will you respond in a PASSIVE, AGGRESSIVE, or ASSERTIVE manner? Will you react like a Silent Child, a Rage-aholic, or a Communicator?
