Happy Holidays and Next Book Club Reading

Thanks to everyone who helped to come decorate our tree yesterday. It was truly a festive evening and the book exchange brought about some great books that may make it to the next club reading lists!

Just a reminder that the book for January is City of Thieves by David Beniof. The date is TBD and we are looking for someone to graciously host this next meeting.

Hope you have a wonderful and safe holiday and looking forward to getting together in the New Year!

Note from Debbie L: Thanks to Karina and VanAn for hosting a lovely holiday meeting. The tacos and cookies were yummy! Unfortunately, we didn't have enough people finish The Help to have any discussion, but it seemed like there was a positive response from what was read. Best wishes to everyone and see you next year!

December meeting scheduled

Note from Debbie L.: Karen had to bow out of hosting for December, but hopes to host the January meeting. VanAn sent out the email below.

Hi Everyone,

Meredith, Karina and I wanted to combine our tree decorating festivities with book club so we decided to host this month's meeting. While Karen's tradition is cookie decorating ours is tree trimming! We are not leaving out the cookies—for those of you who are inclined, there will be an optional cookie and sweets exchange. Bring a dozen or so of your homemade treats to exchange and share with the rest of the book club members. If you are like me and cannot work your way around a chocolate chip, just bring things for our regular potluck meal.

And let's not forget the books!

The book we selected for this month's discussion is The Help by Kathryn Stockett. For those of you who are new, each December we participate in a book exchange. Everyone brings a used book that they've read and enjoyed for an anonymous "gift exchange." Make sure that it is wrapped and unmarked!

We hope to see you for the festivities! Please RSVP and let us know what you plan to bring so we can plan accordingly.
