2016 Book List

December 9, 2015

As we’ve discussed at our December meeting, we’ve decided to start collecting an annual fee of $10. This will be due at our Jan. 7 meeting (location TBD). Leigh has volunteered to be our treasurer and help coordinate this effort. The money will go toward a literacy effort, such as Indy Reads. And we’d like to start a buddy system to volunteer there as well.

We adjusted the reading list at our meeting last week (see below), which flipped the January/March books. We will continue to meet the first Thursday of the month unless something comes up. We would like to have some additional evening gatherings — for extended discussion or just to get together to eat or see a movie! Come if you can. And always, feel free to come to the meetings whether you’ve read the book or not.

Have a very merry Christmas, and until we meet in 2016 — happy reading!

—Beth
