August Meeting

The August Meeting was held at Debbie's house. We enjoyed a light dinner of home made chicken salad and a mixed green salad. This was followed by strawberry and blueberry vanilla yogurt sundaes. Delicious!
We discussed the book The Night Circus. We had a wonderful discussion about this fantastic fantasy.
Gloria, Karen and Linda dressed in black and white to go with the color scheme of the circus.
We also talked about bringing a children's book to share at our December meeting. Barb volunteered to take these to the St. Vincent de Paul Society. We all decided that we had plenty of ornaments and so we would probably discontinue that tradition at our Dec. meetings.
We followed up with Barb telling us the latest news about her Little Free Library. She was happy to report that it has been a huge success.

July Meeting

The July Meeting was held at Corinne's home. We read Killing Kennedy. Following a wonderful dinner, we had a very lively discussion of the book and also a competition .Two teams answered questions about the book and the time in general. The winning team received Smarties candies and the losing team received Nerds candy! I won't reveal who was on each team but let's just say I enjoyed my Smarties.
