Mark your calendars book groupers (and everyone else too!). The holidays are ont their way, and this means a slight change in schedule. December book club will not be meeting our usual first Tuesday- that is the night of the fabulous holiday Enrichment Party. Instead, we are going to meet on Saturday December 5th. We aren't reading a book for the December meeting, instead we are going to have brunch, watch some fun from the Santaland Diaries, and best of all have a book exchange!
So here is what to plan for:
Brunch at 11:30-bring yourself! (Usual place, my apartment)
Book Exchange-wrap and bring a favorite read (old or new) you are ready to part with. Don't worry, you'll go home with something great.
Santaland Diaries-this entertainment is provided.

so much to learn...
Book group gathered last night to review March, and who knew such a small book would be jam-packed with big issues. After touching on topics including slavery, racism, religion, gender roles, war, and the evolution of human dignity in modern society, the conversation certainly wasn't lacking for depth and passion!
Thank you Tina who diligently facilitated from afar, sending us her poignant questions and thoughts to guide discussion.
Pepper was kind enough to send the link to the documentary she was telling us about; for those interested in learning more about the church's history with African-Americans: Nobody Knows: The Untold Story of Black Mormons
(And thanks to everyone who brought those delicious treats! They soothed the passing of my quarter century)
