Mark your calendars: Monday, May 9th, 2011 at 6:30pm.

Where: Myriam Cohen’s home.  Address to follow.

Book:  Our next read is The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest, by Stieg Larsson. Because this book is part of a trilogy we are going to read all three books, every other month.

The objective of our Book Club is our love for reading but as a result of our "common" love to read, we have developed a beautiful bond of friendship among the group. We discuss personal and business concerns without being "judge" and assist each through ups and downs of our daily lives. A few of the ladies were concerned about the fact that if they host they have to cook elaborate meals…this is NOT about cooking, this is about reading and developing lasting and meaning friendships.

If anyone has any questions they can contact me through this email,

Thank you,

ROSE WHITE

Just to give an idea of the fun this group has, Judith’s note to Jan Bullard has been inserted for your reading pleasure –

I offer my services as Rose’s willing assistant. I love our Bookies group and am honored to work as her “new assistant.”

Onward . . .

Judith

PS: Chef Schwabe (aka “my husband Chuck”) is excited to be our private chef for February. He loves to cook and will treat us well.
