Postcard writing class set at Rehoboth Beach Museum Sept. 16

It is true that postcards have been replaced by more immediate forms of electronic communication. But crafting a concise, readable message will always be a desirable skill. And that is why the Rehoboth Beach Museum will hold a workshop on the art of writing concisely - whether one is using postcards or Twitter.

Members of the Rehoboth Beach Historical Society and the general public are invited to learn to write great messages on a postcard at a workshop at 4 p.m., Friday, Sept. 16, at the museum.

The fun and informal postcard writing workshop will be taught by Rae Tyson, a local journalist and writing instructor who is old enough to remember how to write well-crafted postcard messages. The class coincides with the latest exhibit at the museum Wish You Were Here, a postcard exhibit examining the history of Rehoboth Beach on those 3-1/2-by-5-inch cards.

The museum is at 511 Rehoboth Ave. Light refreshments will be served. Reservations are required. For more information or to save a spot, call 302-227-7310.
