October 28, 2012, Meeting at Diane's

Good representation at this meeting.  Only two members not able to attend.  The book discussed was "The Tea Tree Bird Watching Society".  We had diverse opinions of this book.....from "really enjoyed it" to "strongly disliked the book".  Marlena appreciated the loyalty of the friendships of the women in this story.  When those who opposed the book tried to say something positive.....it was "thank goodness, it was a short book....a fast read".  We discussed the "powerful" retired judge moving into town taking over to benefit himself,....and the abused woman whose friends tried to save. 

We voted for the book that we will discussed at the January 27, meeting.  Our choice of Judy's suggestions was "The Sense of An Ending" by Julian Barnes.

Our next meeting is on December 2, at Pembrook.  We will have a "Re-Gifted Yankee Swap.  Our North Country members will collect food for the Campton Food Pantry.  Our Southern Gals will contribute to causes in their areas.  Claire made a request for personal hygiene products, towels, and twin sized sheets for Women's Lunch Place where she volunteers.  We will also collect children's books for the homeless shelter in Plymouth. 

Book to be discussed at December meeting is Stephen King's "11/22/63".
