I have a writer friend who lives in the neighborhood. Yesterday we received this little flyer from her at the door. Here's what she's doing. I think it's so clever.

She's offering classes in her home for young kids and teens. They only last a day or two and for only a couple hours. She is teaching kids to write letters and write about nature and/or photos. She is also working with teens to help them prepare for writing their college essays. I love this idea. She's charging per child.

People love to keep their kids busy during the summer. What do you writers have to offer the children in your neighborhood? This could be a fun way to mamke a few bucks. What do you think?

A beautiful new tea room has opened near my house. I noticed a billboard offering classes in manners to young people. What a wonderful idea. Seems to me kids need it. Even my grandsons like to know which fork and where to walk on the sidewalk, etc. Maybe that would be a good thing for women to teach. Also writing thank you notes, etc.

I wish it were closer, I would give it as gifts to the kids. Something useful and fun too.

I think those are briliant ideas. There are smart, interesting women everywhere.

smile, tea rooms are popping up all around in the surrounding sections of Baltimore. Perhaps we are beginning to think about relaxing more as a society.

Dotsie I love this idea of teaching kids to express them selves in word. Also like the idea of teaching manners! Dotsie, does the flyer say how much she is charging per child?
