CoffeeBuzz
Local storytellers gather at the CoffeeBuzz in Ahwatukee on the first Sunday of each month to share stories. The Sunday afternoon sessions run from 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm. Although these sessions are called “Stories for Grownups” everyone is welcome. Refreshing beverages and great food are available, and there is no cover charge. The themes for the Spring 2010 sessions are:
January 2: “Firsts”
February 7: “Love Makes the World Go Round”
March 7: “Humor IS the Best Medicine”
April 4: “The Best Ever Practical Joke”
May 2: “Memories: After all, isn’t that what stories really are, memories?”
Kelly Davis is the coordinator of the CoffeeBuzz program. For additional information, including participating, email her @ kkvanessa@aol.com.

| Telling at Coffee Buzz |
Listen to what SMCC student Regina Tellez has to say: "It (the Faculty Concert) opened me up to a whole new thing. I didn't think people told stories like the ones I heard. But everyone spoke with such a presence that it made you listen to what they were saying. I like the fact that storytellers can tell stories about anything they want. They can tell you a story about something in their life or tell you about a whole world that doesn't really exist and take you out of reality for a moment. As I listened to the stories, I could picture the people and the obejcts that were being talked about. I didn't notice it at first but when I went back and thought about the storeis, I realized that I had actually created characters in my head. Storytelling is a great thing, it brings people togther and helps you learn more about who they are. Everyone has a story to tell, but storytellers have a way of telling storeis that make them unforgettable."
