FORT KENT – Rhea Cote Robbins, a Franco-American and native Mainer who wrote the book “Wednesday’s Child,” will lead a writing workshop from 5-9 p.m, Wednesday, Nov. 19, at the University of Maine at Fort Kent in the Nadeau Hall teleconference room.

The session, which is free and open to the public, is coordinated and sponsored by UMFK’s French Heritage Council.

The session is titled “Writing the Textures, Textiles, and Texts of Our Lives – Finding and Writing Your ‘Roots’.”

Participants will learn how to connect with their “roots” to more effectively tell the story of their family and their culture.

They are asked to bring an artifact to inspire them to write a piece upon completion of the workshop.

The session will include a light dinner. For more information or to register, contact Gil Albert at (207) 834-7583 or Jocelyne Schael at (207) 834-7539.
