August Book Club

Please join us on Tuesday, August 22nd, at 7:30 at Erin Urban’s home (2663 Monterey Drive) for August’s book club meeting to discuss Rob Sheffield’s novel Turn Around Bright Eyes.

Even if (or perhaps especially if) the last thing you read was Good Night, Moon, please come for the laughter, food and drinks. I know this has been written often, but if you don’t have time to read the book please come anyway. Reading the book may be an easy way to create a common connection, but forming friendships certainly doesn’t involve required reading.

RSVP

August Bunco

For August, we’re going back the first Wednesday of the month. We’ll meet August 2nd at 7pm at Stephanie Cooper’s house (161 Highview Dr).  Bring  $5 (which if you’re lucky you’ll win back) and a snack to share. See you there!

RSVP

July Bunco

This time, it’s not the first Wednesday because we thought that might be hard for people with the holiday. So Bunco will be on Wednesday, July 12, at Elana Ouimette’s home (542 Locust Lane). Have you made it to Bunco yet? It’s so fun. Come! Bring  $5 (which if you’re lucky you’ll win back) and a snack to share. See you there!
