Go is an abstract board game for two players, in which the aim is to surround more territory than the opponent. It has very simple rules and is easy to learn, but challenging to master! The game originated in ancient China more than 2,500 years ago and is one of the oldest board games played today.

When you write grant requests, event invitations, annual reports, and even humble emails, you want to move your readers to action. But too often jargon, lack of practice, and outdated rules from school can get in your way.
Power up your writing in this 90 minute workshop. You’ll leave equipped to:
- Tell stories that stick
- Write sentences that sing
- Keep your focus on your reader
- Find your voice
- Scrap what you’ve learned about writing that isn’t working
About the presenter:
Katy Pugh Smith is a seasoned facilitator and planner with significant experience in convening coalitions of community members, supporting them in identifying goals and action plans, and working with them to see those plans through to results.
Katy is executive director of Greater Good Greenville, which galvanizes nonprofit organizations, philanthropic funders, and mission-minded people for collaborative problem-solving and learning, advocacy, and joint investing to address our community’s challenges.
She earned her Master of Social Work degree in administration, planning, and community organizing from University of Georgia where she co-authored and published several journal articles. But before she took the path to a career in the social sector, Katy planned to be a writer, and she received her undergraduate degree at Wake Forest University with a scholarship for creative writing. She has always loved writing for work and updating her skills as styles and technology change.
Drop in and join us for a board game night. You can choose from a few of the games in our collection or bring your own games to play. You’re more than welcome to bring your kids along if you’d like to learn and play games together. A staff member will be present to suggest games for play and/or explain rules to players. Registration is not required.
