Circle of Friends Book Club meeting summary for October 2017
October 11, 2017
The October meeting was a consultation/reflection on how the bookclub has been going and on the direction for the next six months. We decided to continue the use of themes in our book club selections, and planned the upcoming calendar. We agreed that our meeting with a guest author was a highlight of the past months, and are interested in planning another guest author presentation. We would love to have another guest author to discuss their book with the group, and welcome suggestions for this event.
The bookclub also decided to pursue a service project within the community. Suggestions for the project that were discussed were all book-themed, and included gathering and supplying books to a school classroom, library, or daycare center; an activity encouraging literacy and/or children’s reading; visiting libraries or preschools to read to children; and sponsoring a book drive. The project will be discussed further at upcoming meetings.
