May 15, 2011 - Meeting at Marilyn's

Book discussed was Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. Everyone liked the book. Some commented that they liked it better the first time they read the book. Comparisons to the movie were made. Discussion about circus life, life in nursing home, loyalties to friends and workers.

Voted on Judy's suggestions for July 31st meeting. Widow's War, by Sally Gunning was selected.

We expressed how we would miss Selena, our Thornton Librarian. She has served us and the town for the last nine years. Marilyn passed a card around for us to all sign wishing Selena well and thanking her.

Clothing exchange followed our discussion. What was left over will be donated to the Thrift Shop in Campton.

Feasted upon lasagna, turkey pie, and salads....and delicious desserts.

Our next meeting is on June 26, at Joy's house. Book to be discussed is The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.
