Things I forgot to say!!!

Wednesday is our meeting at Beth’s to discuss The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.  I did forget a few things in the last newsletter. 

Most notably, I forgot to mention Jennifer’s marvelous idea that we form a group of volunteers who are willing to help out with meals, transportation, child care, etc. in the event someone is not up to full speed due to a new baby, injury, illness…

Jennifer has done a great job organizing this assistance group.  If anyone can think of a catchy name for this arm of the book club or wants to sign up and wasn’t there last week, please let Jennifer know.

Also, we discussed at our book selection night the possibility of some of us (totally optional) tackling a major heavy long book for discussion a year from now.  We were going to select that choice at the next meeting…which would be Wednesday.  Please bring any ideas you may have for that to the meeting.  Some titles that have been batted around are War and Peace, Gone with the Wind and something by Dickens.  Certainly would welcome additional ideas though.

See you all on Wednesday.  I better go finish the book!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Autumn Updates

OH, I'm SO sorry this posting is so late.  It's  been almost a month since the September Meeting.  For the latest-and-greatest from Jan, visit this link to this month's Newsletter.

In other news, we have LOTS to celebrate this month...
* Congratulations to Elisabeth & Chris Strong - Ethan's little sister, Julia arrived in early September.
* Happy Birthday to our September "babies" - Joan Bartholomy & Jan Freeman
* Congratulations to Jan on completing her Triathlon!
Cheers to all!

One reminder, also noted in the Newsletter, is that the 2010 Co-Ed Book-for-Discussion will be chosen at the December 2nd (2009) Co-Ed Meeting.  To see which books were nominated, visit this link.

One final thing... I've almost completed the template for the 2010 Meeting Calendar.  As soon as it's ready, I'll post it to the site for possible-meeting-date reference.

Happy Autumn, all!  Enjoy the chilly weather with some tea and a good book.
