Good turnout for this meeting. We missed Marilyn and Patricia. All others present.
We started at 11am with brunch. Thank you to MJ for her hospitality!
Book discussed was "We are Completely Beside Ourselves" by Karen Joy Fowler. Rosemary and her brother Lowell were raised with a chimpanzee sister....Fern. Suddenly everything changes....Fern is gone. We discussed the affect that this had on the entire family. Lori shared information of how animals are used less today for experimentation. Some liked the book....others did not. This provided an interesting discussion.
From Ann F's choices of books for our January 25, 2015, meeting we selected "The Garden of Evening Mists" by Tan Twan Eng.
Our next meeting will be held at 12 noon on Sunday, December 14, at Six Burners Bistro in Plymouth. Since this is our holiday meeting, we will have a Yankee Swap of recycled jewelry. Book to be discussed is "The 100 Year Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared" by Jonas Jonasson. Following the meeting, we will attend the Pemi Choral Group's Holiday Concert at Silver Center.
After our October meeting, we went to the Ice Arena in Plymouth to see the New York Ice Dancers perform. This is an annual event. We were able to get a group rate of $18 per ticket.
