On to the next book!

It was so much fun to have all of you over for dinner! We missed Debbie, of course, but will look forward to getting the next book to her, and seeing her at our next meeting. I am so glad that The Brain That Changes Itself was so well received. I was sure it was going to fall flat, but knowing how open-minded, and thoroughly dedicated readers you all are, I should have known that you would mine gems of wisdom - no matter my own misgivings. It rated a 4.0!

The challenge is to find new ways of expanding our life experiences, and of course reading is one of our favorite ways. Chris chose our next book "The Hummingbird's Daughter", but Luis Alberto Urrea. We will meet at Claudia's on Wednesday, March 3.

I hope we can consider doing a small matching fund for our Summer Readers in connection with the incentive program I described at our last meeting. What if we were to contribute 10 cents for every hour read, and half would go to the Entiat Service Club, and half would go to Heifer International? I would estimate that the summer readers would likely read a total of about 1000 hours. That would mean that our contribution would equal $100 or $50 for each group. Split amongst 7 of us, that works out to a little more that $10.00 each.. Please comment or lets discuss this at our next meeting. Megan is also bringing up a similar proposal to the Entiat River Readers.

Have a great weekend!!
