November's club meeting at Margie's home was a hit! She went all out with Hawaiian lei's for everyone, a big ALOHA sign, and a huge tropical food assortment (with pina coladas!)!! Thanks, Margie!
The book was discussed - everyone enjoyed the read. We also selected books for almost every month in December, as well as hostesses for each month. We will post that list soon.
For December, mark your calendars for Thursday, December 17, for a Christmas pot luck and book exchange. No assigned reading, just a bring your favorite children's Christmas story as well as a wrapped favorite book (used or new is fine) to give in our exchange. More details to come!
