Meeting Schedule

Kris Boisen has generously invited us to meet at her home Wednesday August 3rd at 5:30pm.  Potluck, possibly on the newly completed patio!  Be sure to mark your calendars.  Also, Esther has invited us to meet at The Pines - her get-away up river - in September (date to be decided at the August meeting) and Chris P has invited us to meet at her home in October (date to be decided at the September meeting) to oh and ah over her newly remodeled kitchen.  Boy, won't all the hubbies be busy getting ready for us!

We will discuss our schedule of hosts during a future meeting.  We need to get Barbara back on the schedule after she has fully recovered from her ankle surgery.  Also, Chris M and Nika are coming up to host during our winter months.  We may need to move them out into spring, or we may meet at an alternate location such as the Entiat fire station.

Keep enjoying your summer, and we will see you on August 3rd!

Thank you Kris and Scott

Not wanting to base our meal on those "enjoyed" (endured) by book character John William ("The Other"), we opted for a 1970's themed pot luck.  Delicious with several "family favorites" included!  We enjoyed our time together sharing at the Boisen's lovely home.

Again, mixed reactions to our selection.  The author loved long descriptive sentences, so long you could loose your train of thought.  The book's main characters graduated from Seattle's Roosevelt HS in 1974; the setting and the time-frame prompted many memories.  A few of us did not feel the actions of the story rang true.  It did open discussion on friendships and living with our choices throughout life.

Mark your calendars:

• July 21, Entiat Library, 5:30 - 7pm, come to the film screening "He Named Me Malala".  
• Kris requested volunteers to read a portion of the best-selling children's book "BFG" by Roald Dahl and then participate in a "book club discussion" with her 4th grade class in September.
• I have not updated the info on our next meeting.  I will check with Barbara. Once details are finalized I will post the information, so stay tuned!

Don't forget, we need to give Esther the titles of two books we would like to read.  This will give the book club coordinator options for setting up our on-going reading list.  Once our list is updated, I will bring our list up-to-date on this blog.

Bring your Suggestions July 6

Esther will take suggestions for your second book selection, everyone, at Kris's house or by email. October is Nika's selection then we start a new round.
