August Updates

Hi all!
This is my first newsletter as the Jan Freeman replacement.  I'm going to have trouble filling her shoes for her one year sabbatical to work on the Craneridge history for next year's anniversary.  I'll need your help!
 
We had a great meeting July 20th to discuss "the Truth about the Harry Quebert Affair".  Many thanks to June Marie for organizing the food and decorations.  Everything was delicious.  
 
Next month is our book selection night at the pool shelter on September 14.  
After much thought, we're making some changes to the selection method this year. Our method of bringing printouts to the meeting and speaking about them seems overwhelming and might not allow us enough time to look at the books. So....

Email your selection to Jill G by Sept. 4.  Please include a synopsis, if it is available in an audio book, paperback, plus Title and author. Jill will prepare a spreadsheet of the books and send it to us. We can then review the list at our leisure before the meeting.

We will be picking out FIVE books to cover the first half of the year...until February,  when we will select the remainder for the year.  We'll choose the host houses as well from October till March on the 14th.  

We'll use the poker chip method as in the past to vote on our favorites.  Please bring your book or amazon printout on the 14th.
also...bring a comfy (er) chair if you'd like, and your wine glass! 
 
September 28 is the date for "The Little Paris Bookshop" by Nina George, at Shirley 
S' s house.  We'll choose snacks n wine suppliers on the 14th.

the wine and snack list for the 14th is:
Wine. - Tara. Kathy. Lorraine Marilyn
Appetizer -  jen. Nancy
Dessert. -  Shirley,  Linda

I've given you a lot to think about.  Please call me with any questions or comments.  Happy reading!!!
Jen
