6th Annual Book Group Gathering January 27th 2009

Hi Book Groups of Whidbey Island

We have secured the large meeting hall at the St. Huberts Church in Langley.  We picked it for a couple of reasons.  One, it has convenient access and parking with lots of lighting.  Also it is on  Bayview Rd coming into Langley, so it is also easy to find.

The date is on Tuesday January 27th beginning at 6 PM as usual with the book exchange and potluck before the guest speaker and book discussion.  This year Peter Casale will be the emecee.  We have a couple of  excellent authors to choose from as our guest speaker, and we will get  the news on the choice to you soon.

We have sent an email out to the group leaders (names who signed up at the last get together to receive correspondence).  Unfortunately, the Lit Fun group contact email came back.  If anyone knows someone in that group please have them contact me directly.

We are asking a group member to attend a short meeting in November to go over details of the upcoming event.   Our goal this year is to include all of the book groups in the planning process, and continue to improve as the years go by in making this a must go to event for book group participants.

Check back at the beginning of December.  We should have more information then on the guest speaker and feedback from all of the group leaders who attend the meeting.

We look forward to seeing you on that dark night of January for some stimulating conversation  at the book club gathering.
