December Recap


Dear Book Clubbers,

Hope you all had nice holidays.  This is just a quick note to remind you that we are having a “almost purely social” gathering at Polly Emhke’s house a week from today at 7 PM on Thursday, January 6th.  Please note that this is a THURSDAY NIGHT and RSVP to Polly. 

In the interest of simplifying the food situation, I have made the following executive decision.  If your name begins with Bartholomy through Reed (first 2/3rds), please bring an appetizer to the gathering.  If you are Rinaldi through Wells, please bring a dessert.  When you call Polly to RSVP, please let her know what you are bringing, so that she can tell you if someone is already bringing that exact thing.  Also, those who can readily bring a bottle of wine can let Polly know at that time.

We will have a brief business meeting to finalize the long classic book choice for 2011 and to add a few more books to our list.  Please bring ideas that may have come up over the holiday book shopping season. 

Our meeting to discuss The Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet is at Joan’s on Wednesday, January 19th.  This book is a quick and enjoyable read, so everyone should be able to get it in between now and then.  Remember this is the night we are going to split the discussion portion of the meeting into two groups.  I am not sure whether we have two moderators that have volunteered.  I am hoping that Jill remembers!

Hope to see you all next Thursday.  In the meantime, Happy New Year!

Jan
