PORT ANGELES — Storyteller Rebecca Hom will share stories of several Women Airforce Service Pilots and their program at a free Story Swap at 7 p.m. Tuesday.
The event will be in the Carver Room of the Port Angeles Library, 2210 S. Peabody St.
The Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) were a civilian force of 1,100 women pilots who became the first women to fly military aircraft.
“Their proficiency, enthusiasm and spirit served the country and broke the norm,” organizers said. “They served with pride, grace, and quiet glory, paving the way for the inclusion of female pilots in the future.”
After a short refreshment break, an open mic session will be available for anyone to step up and share a short tale.
The nonprofit Story People Of Clallam County is dedicated to bringing all forms of live story telling to the North Olympic Peninsula.
Information about public events, group membership and about storytellers available is on the web at ClallamStoryPeople.org.
The Story People of Clallam County hosts story swaps on the third Tuesday of the month, along with other public events: the annual
Liars’ Contest in June, the Forest Storytelling Festival in Port Angeles in October and Story Slams at Sequim’s Olympic Theatre Arts.
