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,

Rosewhite@allstate.com

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.

We have been offered a limited opportunity for some of our WEC Members to enjoy the Focus Features special movie screening presentation on Thursday, March 17th, 7:30 pm. Tickets are first come, first served, so arrive early. Location is Cinemark Paradise 24, 15601 Sheridan St., Davie, FL.

The movie link is www.focusfeatures.com/jane_eyre

Rated PG-13 Running Time: 120 minutes

The first 20 members who reply to Susan Kingsley’s email invitation will receive a ticket for 2. Please only reply if you are going to be able to attend. The lucky 20 members will be required to pick up their tickets at the March 15th meeting at the Tower Club, or make arrangements with Susan Kingsley or Rose White for their tickets. Those who fail to do so will unfortunately forfeit their tickets. Any extra tickets will be raffled out to attendees at the March WEC annual meeting.

This Focus Features film is the bold new version of the timeless classic Jane Eyre, based on one of the most beloved novels ever. A sexy, Gothic tale of one of the great forbidden romances of all time – filled with danger, seduction and longing that has enthralled readers, but given a modern day spin by the award – winning wunderkind director, Cary Fukunaga.

Our WEC was approached about this special movie screening presentation because the movie is based on a classic novel and the promoter’s target market is local dignitaries, female community leaders as well as book clubs.
