&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#242424"&gt;&lt;span data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" face="Verdana"&gt;We are pleased to welcome back our creative writing participants for this ongoing webinar series, where our guest hosts will guide discussions on storytelling, reflection, and personal expression—supporting creativity for writers of all levels.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" color="#242424" face="Verdana"&gt;This inspiring series invites participants to explore the craft of writing through meaningful activities, thoughtful guidance, and shared perspectives. Drawing on rich life experiences and diverse viewpoints, attendees will have the opportunity to deepen their understanding of narrative techniques, discover their unique voice, and engage in interactive writing exercises. Whether you are an experienced writer or just starting your journey, this series is designed to nurture your creativity and inspire your continued growth as a writer.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#242424"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" face="Verdana"&gt;Meet the Presenters:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#242424"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" face="Verdana"&gt;Mary&amp;nbsp;Ndlovu&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" color="#242424" face="Verdana"&gt;Mary spent fifty years in Zambia and Zimbabwe raising a family, training teachers for the post-Independence expansion of education, and working for democracy and human rights. She is now trying to understand why all the idealism and goodwill for making a better world have been replaced by hatred and greed.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#242424"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" face="Verdana"&gt;Christina Poniecki&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" color="#242424" face="Verdana"&gt;Christina worked and travelled in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and North America in the 1970s. She was looking for a deep understanding of herself and humanity in general. Now she continues her learning with inner exploration.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#242424"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" face="Verdana"&gt;Martin J.P. Wilkins&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" color="#242424" face="Verdana"&gt;Martin has spent the first part of his career in the management of airlines and is still active in consulting to business corporations and is currently authoring a book on accessing the C suite. However, he still finds time to be a passionate advocate for the interests of older adults and is on the Board of Active Aging Canada, Older Adult Advisory Table with the City of Calgary, Clearwater Academy&amp;nbsp;and the board of Lunchbox Theatre.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#242424"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" face="Verdana"&gt;David B. Phillips&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" color="#242424" face="Verdana"&gt;David has led an interesting life in various countries and travelled widely but he has always sought to draw meaning and wisdom from those experiences. Now he is trying to pass on those lessons learned.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#242424" face="Aptos, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody"&gt;&lt;font face="inherit" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;Disclaimer:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#242424" face="Aptos, sans-serif" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Please note that registration for this online presentation will close the day before at 3:00 p.m. If you are unable to attend the live session, don’t worry — the presentation will be available to watch online for the following two weeks on our YouTube channel “Unison for Generations 50+.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" color="#242424" face="Verdana"&gt;These sessions are designed to be interactive and engaging. Due to the sensitive nature of the topics and the interactive format, they will not be recorded or posted on Unison's YouTube page. Attendance at each session is not mandatory—please feel free to join one, two, or all sessions according to your interest. We warmly welcome your participation and encourage you to join us to learn and engage.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
