Monday, December 9 at 7 PM, Holiday Letter-Writing Recycling Workshop. In this eco-friendly holiday themed workshop, you will learn how you can reuse another family’s holiday newsletter and make it your own. We will provide you with a free smartphone app that will allow you to use your phone’s camera to capture the image of any holiday letter you have received, substitute your own photos for the embedded images, and then change names, dates, and activities as desired. Or keep the words, if you prefer the travel, and sports, honors and adventures of the original letter over your own family’s dull or uninspiring year! It’s up to you. When done, just hit send to your contacts to email your creation to everyone you know, saving on stamps and paper. This free, fun workshop will be held on the 4th floor craftshop of the Cleveland Park Club, but since the club house doesn’t have a 4th floor, you should realize that this is the weekly fake event.
