Submit your event/s here. Note that we limit event listings mainly to free or inexpensive public events in Wellesley, such as talks, films, theatre productions, concerts, etc. This is not a place for businesses to promote themselves, their classes, etc. Please don’t submit events that run for weeks and weeks. We approve event listings before they go live, typically within 24 hours.
No business sales, trunk shows, etc. (those would be paid advertisements). Please go easy on the ALL CAPS, exclamation points!!!!, etc.
We also appreciate any contributions to support our independent journalism venture.
Thanks, Deborah & Bob

Yes, You Do Have a Story to Tell! A Creative Lab for College-App Essay Writers
May 2 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
“I have nothing to write about!”
That’s a common reaction from students facing the college-app essay project. From here, an emotional cycle can whirl: the initial doubt that gave rise to the statement invites further worry that obstructs creative thinking. The absence of progress makes the statement feel like fact. What’s true is that the statement is never true.
The pressure to appear exceptional can be paralyzing for applicants. Let’s replace that pressure with genuine curiosity, which turns out to be the engine behind exceptional essays. Students and parents should come ready with pen, paper, and imaginations.
In person and online at Wellesley Free Library. Registration required.
