Many of us have these if you need them.  We would also like to plan a trip to see the movie after March 23rd 

January Meeting

How's everyone doing on The Robe?  We're meeting on the 25th for discussion and to plan the year. 

Loose Ends

I just wanted to make sure we are all on the same page about book club for next year.  We will be meeting the last Wednesday of the month.  At the January meeting, each member needs to bring one idea of a book they would be willing to host.  We won't get to all of them, but we'll figure out a way to choose which we'd like to read throughout 2012.  We will also be taking the summer off and perhaps passing around books that we want to share, but not discuss. 

The Robe

On January 25th we will meet to discuss Lloyd Cassel Douglas' The Robe.

It is about a Roman soldier who wins Christ's robe and then sets out to learn about Christianity.  It promises faith, romance, adventure, and redemption.

 I stumbled across this link to the book online.  Copies can also be found for interlibrary loan through the local libraries and I came across a video as well.

December Meeting

Remember that we are meeting Wednesday, December 14th, 10 am to discuss Wives & Daughters and have our cookie exchange.  Bring 6 dozen of the same cookie to share.
