Our first Book Club meeting was last Tuesday. We were happy to welcome a new member, Kathy Holopirek of Bison to the group. Others attending were Priscella Jacobs, Suzanna Randa, Ruth Crawshaw, Callie Weber, Carolyn Thompson and Susan Rebel. Come and join us each Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. On the 27th we will have a “Blind Date with a Book”. Bring a book wrapped in brown paper and string, put some words to describe the book on the brown paper like “Romance, Mystery, Fluff, Historical Fiction etc. then give some other points of the books like “suspense, a clever twist, racy, a quick read, you won't be able to lay it down etc”. We will utilize speed dating!
