Five Quarters of an Orange, Joanne Harris
Host: Barbara K.
Leader: Carol E.

April 8, 2008 3pm
Our tea with authors Edith and Theresa on Tuesday, April 8 is still a go. Joanne, Carol and Evelyn have volunteered to bring desserts. We are getting together at Margi S.'s house at 3:00. We are all excited to have the opportunity to spend some time with them.

CAR POOL please
Also it might be a good idea to suggest some car pooling....and to leave the entrance at the bottom of the drive free for Theresa and Edith - i.e. if folk park close to the house garage that is just great - we can get 5-6 cars in there double parked.....but leave a space at the front door for them to drive down on the level.....it is possible to park along the drive and leave room for a car to drive past, two plus can park in front of the big garage on the apron and there is room for 3 or 4 tucked in by the trailer and dirt pile - just drive right in there and double park....

Fishing with John, by Edith Iglauer
Host: Carol E.
Leader: Margi S.

January 2008 Women’s Connection Book Club
Karen D.’s home

For the first time we had “perfect attendance” (with a guest) to discuss How to Make an American Quilt by Whitney Otto. Thank you to Helen C. for leading the discussion.

The agenda for the remainder of the year was distributed.

If you are interested in going to the movies to see The Kite Runner or Atonement, please contact Linda P. 883-9313, djpearson(deletethis)@dccnet.com.

Karen volunteered to prepare the notes on the other books we’ve read. They’ll come under separate cover.

Vera suggested providing everyone members’ phone numbers and email addresses. It is coming as a PDF file separately. (Sorry I’m not savvy enough to change it to Word.)

The next book will be Fishing with John, by Edith Iglauer; discussion led by Margi S. on February 20, 2008 at Carol E.'s – 12430 Whitestone. She did such a great job of providing a map, that I’m forwarding it separately to you as well.

The books have been ordered, so you’ll be hearing from the Reading Centre in a week or two.
