July Meeting

On July 24th the club reviewed the book, Girl in Translation by Jean Kwok. Everyone liked the book. Angie shared how she related to the book as a young girl who came to America from Germany and how she learned English from a woman in her apartment building. We discussed the hardship Kim and her mother had to face for many years and how they had to endure Aunt Paula 's jealous feelings. We also talked about how bright Kim must have been to go to school by day and then work in the sweatshop with her mother right after school and into the night. We were treated to Vic Tellez fixing his speciality, Chinese stir fry with rice. Everyone shared there fortune cookie fortunes after dessert. We all had a nice time visiting and getting caught up with each other's summer vacations.
