Our Last Meeting

After five great meetings held at each others homes, we decided to combine our sixth meeting with a girls getaway. To that end we all headed up to Dilkusha, the LeGallais family cottage. Not only did we have a good time and discuss our current book, but we decided on some guidelines for the club. Verna brought some excellent suggestions with her that she had learned from another woman who had been in a Book Club for many years. It caused some great discussions and we adopted some ideas. We decided to plan our meetings in advance. We are now having meetings on the third Wednesday of each month. We also decided to expand ourselves by appointing certain types of books to each month. For example February will be a Classic and April will be Historical Fiction. When your turn comes up, you pick from the genre of the month. We also decided to give the month's hostess some power. It is her responsibility to keep the meeting on the subject. She will have a "Bell" to ring when she thinks it's going off topic. We all agreed to obey the Bell! We still have to get the Bell though? This should make for even better meetings.

Also, thanks to Danielle for creating this blog for us!
