Picture from the Past

Since our anniversary weekend is coming up soon I thought I'd jog our memories a little with this picture from the past. I think this picture was taken the first year of WOW.

Christmas Party 2010

Here are a few pictures of our 2010 Christmas party. We celebrated in the Pope's Room at Bucca di Beppo. We enjoyed our yearly ornament exchange and we also selected our books for 2011.

Organizational Meeting December 7th 2010

There will be an organizational meeting at Karen's house on
Dec. 7th at 7:30pm for those who are planning to attend WOW'S 25th Anniversary Weekend. Plan to come and share ideas to make our special weekend a once in a lifetime book club experience.

NOVEMBER MEETING 2010

Our November meeting was held at Karen M.'s home which was beautifully decorated for an Elizabethan feast. The huge table was groaning under the many courses that were served. WOW members felt as if they were attending King Henry's court, which fit perfectly with the theme of the November book, The Other Boleyn Girl. We had a lively discussion and learned some court history along the way. A great time was had by all who attended. Karen really outdid herself with the decor and the delicious food that she served.

OCTOBER MEETING

Corrine hosted our October Meeting. The book she selected was Tethered. It was a fascinating mystery story. Although I was not able to attend the meeting I know that everyone must have had a great time discussuing all the twists and turns that the book took.
I could not put this book down until I finished it and found out the ending.

September Meeting 2010

We had a great time at Sharon's with our September pick, The Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet. Karen M., Gloria, Karen T., Debbie, Diane and Stephanie, and of course Sharon, were in attendance. Sharon served a wonderful Oriental salad and yummy chicken and also pork egg rolls. We had a good discusion and everyone enjoyed the book.
We did notice a WW Two theme this year with several of our books taking place during that time.
We also discussed a new venue for our 20th WOW anniversary. This will be in Jefferson Tx in Janurary. I hope that everyone has seen the emails from Karen M. filling us in on the various activities for the book club anniversary.
