New Year Fully Underway

Thank you Jackie for a lovely evening in your groovy new place with terrific view. It was wonderful to see everyone and the book sparked lively discussions. Most people did not like the book but had many ideas about the characters and the norms of the time in which it was set. As always, there were many opinions.

Our next book is The Tiger's Wife by Téa Obreht. Jackie will facilitate the next meeting and Natalie will host. Carol will select the March book from any of the book awards that we covered this year: Canada Reads; Pulitzer or Orange. Additionally she will host the March meeting which will include planning for our next year. Everyone agreed to invite Laura's friend but thought that she should start after our planning session, that is in April.

We were trying to send positive vibes out to our missing members: Get well Elva -- everyone is dying to meet Xavier and Good luck Laura -- we want you to be a principal almost as much as you do.

Hope I have captured it all --- let me know what I've missed.
