July Meeting Postponed

Our 7/8 meeting scheduled at Lily's house has been postponed. It looks like Lily can host next on 7/22. We need to get a consensus on the date and confirm with Lily.

Twilight Meeting Notes

Here are notes, kindly provided by Talley from our June meeting. I was sad to miss it since it sounded like a heated book discussion!

1. Lee and Kim, who came to discuss Twlight, joined WWR

2. We agreed to put off readin A Prayer for Owen Meany (which I am sure you figured out) and Lily picked the book and will host next month.

3. Everyone liked the idea of the PC thing in August and if you want to host, they also thought it might be fun to read a book about cooking...there were lots of recommendations, but I did not write them down.

4. We decided we would stick with the second Wednesday since that worked for all of us there, and just realized there will be times we miss...
