Sign up for Guilford Winter Penpals 2024 now!
It gets dark pretty early these days. As our worlds start to turn more and more indoors it can be refreshing to connect with others who are hunkering down in their homes as well, and that's where the Guilford Winter Pen Pals comes in!
For the 3rd year running, the Guilford Winter Pen Pals will connect folks across our town to swap letters and cards throughout the season, to build relationships and help weave the fabric of our community. Meet someone new, or get to know someone better!
In the past, a wide variety of folks signed up from all over town. Ages ranged from the single digits on up to senior citizens. Some families even participated as a group. We've had an overwhelmingly positive response! "It was such a nice, easy, graceful way to meet someone," remarked one pen pal. Another added, "What a cool way to be in someone's life! I felt the real person come out of the paper." It is now time to sign up again for the coming winter season. Guilford Folk will start pairing people off at the beginning of January, so the letter writing can begin with the New Year and run through April. To sign up you just need to fill out a simple form with your information and interests. Paper forms can be found at the Library, and online sign up forms can be filled out by going to the Guilford Library website's program page or by just clicking this link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfjV_3Vi4yuPJGCiwAh0zihmj5lxHPEs2b4ymjQAREWtVTq_g/viewform
We will do our best to match people according to their preferences. And then let the writing begin!
