DO YOU HAVE 
A STORY TO 
TELL? 

Do you have a Sierra Madre memory to tell? 
This is your chance to have it recorded on 
video and stored at state and local archives. 
You will be part of the state historical record! 
AND there will be a presentation here in 
town of all the Sierra Madre videos created.

 Sierra Madre Historical Preservation 
Society members have regaled us with all 
kinds of wonderful memories of their lives in 
town – we know you have stories to tell! If 
you were raised here, what experiences and 
adventures did you have? If you moved to 
Sierra Madre, what was it like then compared 
to now? Do you have a memory connected 
to a place, or to a person – maybe a leading 
citizen of our town, or even a local character? 
These are just a few ideas to get you thinking 
what memory you’d like to tell.

 Part of this memory-gathering project, 
California Listens, is a free 2-day workshop 
to create your little video (photos or 
memorabilia relating to your story are a big 
plus!). The workshop team will work with 
you all the way through, and you’ll end up 
with skills that could be useful for recording 
memories for your family, or doing other 
video projects. The California Listens Digital 
Storytelling Workshop is set for Friday and 
Saturday May 11-12, 2018 from 9 am to 5 pm 
at City Hall, located at 232 W. Sierra Madre 
Blvd. in Sierra Madre.

 In the workshop, participants will make 
a short video on a computer and will learn: 
how to make a great video story, how to 
write a narration script and record it, how to 
prepare a visual treatment for a story, and the 
basics of video editing in WeVideo. Powerful 
and fun! Anyone can contribute regardless of 
experience or technical level.

 The deadline to apply is April 28th. To 
apply, visit: storycenter.org/sierramadre or 
submit a paper application to the Sierra Madre 
Public Library. You can drop your application 
off at the library or mail it to them (Sierra 
Madre Public Library, 440 W. Sierra Madre 
Blvd. Sierra Madre, CA 91024). Or you can 
apply online at the website storycenter.org/
sierramadre.

 The workshop is free, but pre-registration 
is required. Those taking part must commit 
to preparation time, attendance during the 
entire two days. 

 Collected video stories will be shared at 
a presentation during the summer and will 
become part of state and local archives of 
stories about what it means to be Californian.
