Please remember to bring canned goods for us to donate to C.O.N.C.E.R.N. Please come a little early if you are able to assist with setting up the tables. ALSO,
MUTUAL Girl’s Club has had some bad luck as of late. The building was flooded and can use any help folks are able to provide. If you can, please bring a $ donation to our pot luck or mail a check to them.

Heads Up! Cinema Sundays return!!
During the month of January we do not have a program but celebrate the new year quietly on the second Sunday afternoon of the month with the first of usually three of four Cinema Sundays running from January thru March or April. Join us on January 13 at 2:00 p.m. the home of Dave and Joan Dreisker. Bring yummy snacks to share! The film we will watch is
The Bostonians, a 1984 Merchant Ivory film, based on Henry James' novel of the same name with Vanessa Redgrave playing a 19th-century Boston woman dedicated to the suffrage movement.

Welcome New Member(s)!

December Book Group
We will meet at the home of Carol and Cassandra Nagel at 3:00 p.m.
on Sunday, December 9 and the book we will discuss is Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. It is a true account of one woman’s journey to Italy, India and Indonesia searching for inner peace after her divorce. It is available in paperback. [Note: The date has been changed from the first Sunday to the second Sunday because Dec. 2 is the day of the Bartlesville Choral Society’s performance of “Messiah” at the BCC, 2:00 p.m.. Try to come see this concert if you can!]
