The Dunes Center in Guadalupe is hosting a free typewriter workshop in honor of Kathleen Goddard Jones, nicknamed "Defender of the Dunes." The program will take place on Jan. 6 from 10:30 a.m. to noon at the Dunes Center.
Jones, who died in 2001, was a local environmental activist with a passion for the Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes Complex who led a 30-year campaign to conserve the dunes for public use. Her work is credited with helping to preserve and promote the flora and fauna of the Central Coast.
Participants will learn how to operate vintage typewriters and use them to create letters and poems before decorating their own stationary. The workshop is for ages 8 and older and RSVP is required.
For more information and to RSVP for the free workshop, please contact Erin Gardner, educational and public programs coordinator for the Dunes Center at [email protected] or by calling (805) 343-2455. The Dunes Center is located at 1065 Guadalupe St., Guadalupe.
