Jacquie's Email Invitation
Hello Literary Ladies! Although it doesn't look like it will be 70 degrees this Wednesday, Joanna has been monitoring the position of the sun in her front yard and she thinks it should be nice and sunny/warm between 12:45 - 3pm, so we will try one last outdoor meeting to enjoy the last bits of this gorgeous autumn weather we've been having.
Joanna has chosen a wonderful short story by Jane Gardam for us all to read together. So that will be this Wednesday, November 3rd at 12:45pm at Joanna's Until Wednesday! -- Jacquie
Christine's MinutesFran called the meeting to order, and the minutes were read and accepted. There was no treasurer’s report.
Discussion following about Jacquie’s wonderful emails reminding us of each upcoming meeting. We all agreed they should be saved, along with their always apt illustrations. (Note: They are all here, on the blog). Our next meeting, on the 17th, will most likely be inside at Linda’s, and Linda has been requested by our president to serve NO drinks or food. This will require great restraint on Linda’s part, given her predilection for making heartwarming soups as well as delicious cookies.
Then, because Louisa was unable to present the scheduled program, Joanna found for us a delightful story to read aloud: The Tribute, by Jane Gardam. Your secretary will not attempt a synopsis of the story. But it is safe to say that the story was universally enjoyed, to the extent that immediately following our meeting there was a run on the 15 copies of Jane Gardam’s Short Story Collection in the Westchester Library System.
It was a perfect way to spend an afternoon, though just as we started the leaf blowers started, and when that was combined with an overhead plane, we had to stop reading and twiddle our thumbs.
Respectfully submitted,
Christine Lehner, Recording Secretary
