I love all the stories! I hate to miss a meeting!"

Rose - Retired Social Worker
Once upon a time . . . Once there was . . .
One day a long time ago . . . There was, there was not . . .
. . . A long time ago, or maybe not so long ago . . . one whitened, January evening admits Blizzard’s icy blast, snow encrusted roads and frost biting temperatures. Founders meet at the old Howard Johnson’s restaurant on 28th street, unthawing, organizing and thus founding Story Spinners of Grand Rapids.

Today, Story Spinners of Grand Rapids stands as one of 17 remaining storytelling guilds in the State of Michigan.

Through decades of snow incrusted winters and sun sizzling summers, Story Spinners of Grand Rapids continues to provide a foundation for people of all ages to experience, develop and refine their skills in the art of storytelling. Story Spinners of Grand Rapids is, and has been, a corner stone for individuals choosing to utilize their storytelling skills in the context of their families, in their workplaces, and in their communities, as well as in the professional storytelling arena.
