Hey there everyone.
It has been a while since I wrote an update of our club meetings. So, I'd like to just make note of our last meeting and what we did.
We had many of our regular members in attendance and talked about how long we have been reading together as a club.
I brought with me a binder that I put together as a sort of journal and business record of our group. In it there were book lists and attendance records of who came and who read the books.
The ambition of mailing out news letters fell flat, but I'm happy to say the blog has been a good replacement.
This Spring will mark the 10th year of our book group, by then we may have completed nearly 60 books.
As you know we enjoy good food before our discussion and it almost becomes more important than talking about the book. The highlights of our night were the Chicken Panini sandwiches Lorraine provided and thank her for hosting! Great salads, apple cranberry walnut (Kris), caprese (me) and cheese curd (Stefanie) that represented Heidi's life on the mountain. We must always have dessert and will go to great lengths to have something sweet and so Lemon Bars arrived thanks to Karen and apple pie bars (Kris) and eclairs (PeggyAnn) are always welcome and a must have. While there was a healthier choice for those figure conscious Gals who could enjoy the fruit salad Bobbie brought without too much guilt. Thanks to everyone who brings their best!
Members have come and gone. We were very happy that most of our original members have stuck with the group and have been very loyal readers and friends. So a big "High Five" to Kris, PeggyAnn, Lorraine, Stefanie, Bobby and myself who have continued to participate from the beginning. We are always happy to bring in new readers who can participate while they are in our area. We welcomed Karen a year or two ago and consider her an honorary long term member, she brings a lot to our group and has been a valuable addition.
Our current book will be Fahrenheit 451, followed by King Leer and then we will read 1984 which will take us into Spring.
Happy reading.
Sharon
