The Northeast Storytellers will host a special event in honor of the patron Saint for Lovers in St. Johnsbury, Vermont on Saturday,  February 11, 2017—from 1-3pm—in association with the St. Johnsbury Athenæum. Writing group members and invited guests will appear in the world-famous Gallery sharing Love-themed readings.

Valentine's Day falls on February 14th. Also called Saint Valentine's Day, this annual celebration honoring Love began in the 14th century, when the tradition of courtly love flourished. The day evolved in 18th-century Victorian England into an occasion to express love with flowers, chocolate, or greeting cards—known as "Valentines.”

This event is free and open to the public. Delectable refreshments will be served. All are welcome to attend and participate. For more information, or to participate in the readings, please contact Brooke Quillen on 802.751.5432 or via brookequillen@yahoo.com.

The Northeast Storytellers—a group of writers, readers, and appreciators of prose and verse—meet regularly the second Saturday of every month from 2-3:30 pm at the Good Living Senior Center in St. Johnsbury, Vermont. The public is welcome to attend, and new members are always encouraged to join. The group organizes events during National Poetry Month every April, ranging from workshops to commemorations to open houses—as well as other activities throughout the year.
