A Merry Christmas!

 We met again at Judy Schmidt's this month and enjoyed a tasty chicken vegetable soup with bread.  Thank you Judy for making us warm and welcome!  As we discussed our book, "Cave of Bones", we wrapped gift books for local children.  We also made final contributions to our Christmas Jar and found we had collected $300.00 for one local Entiat family to brighten their holiday!  A Merry Christmas to all and a save, healthy and happy New Year!

September 17, 2021:  We were able to resume meeting after Covid with an outdoor-deck gathering at Judy Schmidt's; briefly discuss our last read over a year ago "Me Before You", and resume our list. A meeting was set up for Esther's garden patio November 4 to discuss "The Library Book". The Christmas Jar is resumed!
