FYI...there was a survey in the Rec News a month or two ago regarding interest in a Hadley Book Club...the first meeting is Monday...I contacted one of the organizers (Ruth) and she advises that you do not have to live in Hadley, all are welcome and to contact her by email if interested:
================================================== =======
"Our first meeting, scheduled for Monday, Dec. 8, 3 - 5 in the Tanzania Room at Odell, is rapidly approaching. We'll be discussing Beneath the Marble Sky. I hope you enjoyed the book. I did. Almost fifty people have contacted me about this book club; so, I think it would be a good idea to find out how many are planning to attend our first meeting. Please email me
ruthstro@gmail.com if you plan to attend. I anticipate that we'll break up into smaller groups for the actual discussion.
Since we'll be making new friends, it might be a good idea to wear a name tag if you have one from some other group. I'll bring some blank lables for people who need a name tag.
The rec center will provide coffee. For this first meeting, I'll bring some cookies and cheese and crackers. If you would like a little wine to go with the cheese and crackers, you need to bring that yourself (rec center rules). For later meetings, if you want goodies, we can have volunteers from the discussion groups bring them.
Finally, we should select next month's book or even the next few month's books at this meeting. Please email me with your suggestions by Friday, Dec. 5, and I'll send an email to the group with links to book reviews.
See you Monday,
Ruth"
