Last week’s Selection
Night/Organizational/Book Swap meeting went very well. Thank you, Jill for pulling things
together at the pool and keeping the evening moving.
As you will see, we very nearly have our year
set up. This should free up more
time at meetings to discuss the book and have social time with each other. Thank you for everybody who
volunteered. Your efforts are what
make our club so successful!
The book choices, dates and other info are
included in a separate document. Please
save this to refer to throughout the year. Of course it will be on our awesome blog (crbc.blogspot.com)
as well. Anyone wanting a paper
copy that was unable to print at home can let me know and I will bring one to
you at the next meeting. Remember
that if something comes up and the slot you picked no longer works, you need to
arrange a swap or ask somebody to cover it for you.
Of course, everyone always wants to know what
books were recommended and not chosen so they have some ideas for other reads
during the year. Here is the list
of those
Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald by
Therese Anne Fowler
The
Sisterhood by Helen Bryan
We currently have 3 recommendations to put before the guys for the 2014
co-ed meeting. We welcome more
suggestions from the men at this year’s co-ed gathering. Depending on what the guys choose, we
may end up with one of these for our September 2014 meeting.
If the above lists look a little funky to you (some underlined in blue,
some black), I can’t really explain it except to say that the titles and
authors may be “magical”. Click on them and you may find
yourself taken directly to the relevant Amazon link!
Remember that our meeting to discuss Girls Like Us by Sheila
Weller is just around the corner.
Barb announced at the selection night that all are encouraged to come
even if they didn’t finish the book.
Peggy has put together a little multimedia presentation. Between that and the marvelous book
companion website http://www.girlslikeusthemusic.com, you
can easily participate in the discussion without getting the whole way
through. Please let Barb know if
you plan on attending.
Snack volunteers for that night are:
Appetizers: Nancy and Sue K
Desserts: Tara and Donna
Chardonnay: Loraine and Karla
Reisling: Polly
Finally, it was great to see so many new and newish faces at
the meeting. A special shout out
goes to Donna Harris who carted all the extra books away to donate. Woohoo!
It is officially the last week of summer! Enjoy!
