Big Changes for the BOOK CLUB!
In an effort to have more participation we decided to move the one hour long meeting of the Book Club to. The 4th SUNDAY of the month at 12:30 - after our church service and an abbreviated Coffee Hour.
Besides that change we will also have one member who will give a summary of the book for those who haven't read it.
January's meeting will be on Sunday, the 30th at 12:30. The book is "The Night Watchman" by Louise Eldrich. It's a great novel and a good read.
You are welcome attend and participate even if you have not read the book. We usually alternate between fiction and nonfiction selections.
Sometimes the meeting date is changed so it is a good idea to call before you come: 716-754-2830.
Enjoy your reading!
