 Get
ready for a new season of Book Club!
Welcome back! The first discussion of the fall will be September 2, 2008 at Horizon
Books (lower level) at 10:00 am and the book is "The Yiddish
Policeman's Union" by Michael Chabon. It is a unique genre of Jewish
settlers in an alternative sight, and a murder mystery.
Hope everyone can join us for the kickoff of the new year. Remember to
bring a book suggestion to the first meeting. The book selections for the
rest of the year are determined by the votes of the group at the first
meeting, so be sure to attend if you want your vote to count!
For more information, please contact Letha Cairns at gcairns@chartermi.net
or 271-6831, or go to Book
Discussion.
Men's Book Club Reminder
 The
list of book selections through December has been listed under Activities
/ Literary / Men's Book
Group for quite some time, but since September is our Kick-Off month
for the new season, we thought a reminder might be in order. The book
selection for the September 22nd discussion is "Blue Highways"
by William Least Heat Moon and the discussion leader will be Andy Gerben.
