November Book Club - Moloka'i

Book Club for November 2009 will be held on Thursday, November 19 at 7:30 p.m., at Margie Harton's home (see the email for her address).  Feel free to bring a Hawaiian themed snack to share!  We will be reviewing Moloka'i.  Feel free to make comments here even if you are not able to attend in person.
