"The Help" Book Club Kit
Have you been procrastinating? Stop it! No need to wait for someone to finish her copy and have mercy on you, still waiting on the library hold list or Amazon to deliver. We have 9 copies of Kathryn Stockett's The Help. You can pick up your copy from Mary Emily's house; call her and she will leave a copy for you in the mailbox (214-808-2936).

Our Archives Are Up!
All of our reading lists have been transferred from Google Groups. You will find them on the right sidebar. "Member Suggested Books" is a nice place to add that book that you've been thinking of, but will most likely forget before the yearly planning meeting. You can browse the list, or edit it by clicking POSTING and then EDIT PAGES. Of course, you have to be signed in to the blog first.
If you want to post something to the blog and are unaccustomed to Blogger (or just don't have the time to learn it), just email it to me and I'll put it up.
