Help Needed - Friday

Sisters, we apologize for this last minute notice, but help is needed....

We need help tomorrow (Friday) moving Christina Boyd out of the ward, and into a new place. ANY help would be appreciated, for ANY length of time.
If your husband's could help too, that would be great.

If you can offer any assistance, please call Sara Reinstein. She is available until 11:30 tonight, and would love to hear from helpers tomorrow as well :)

Thank you Sisters.

Book Bunch - April 9th

Thank you to all the sisters that came to our very first Book Bunch meeting tonight. It was so much fun to talk about the book The Hunger Games.

Our next Book Bunch will meet April 9th at 7 pm at Kristen Uffens home. The book we will be discussing is The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows.


Here is the description from the book's website www.guernseyliterary.com:

January 1946: London is emerging from the shadow of the Second World War, and writer Juliet Ashton is looking for her next book subject. Who could imagine that she would find it in a letter from a man she's never met, a native of the island of Guernsey, who has come across her name written inside a book by Charles Lamb.

As Juliet and her new correspondent exchange letters, Juliet is drawn into the world of this man and his friends—and what a wonderfully eccentric world it is. Born as a spur-of-the-moment alibi when its members were discovered breaking curfew by the Germans occupying their island, the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society boasts a charming, funny, deeply human cast of characters, from pig farmers to phrenologists, literature lovers all.

Juliet begins a remarkable correspondence with the society's members, learning about their island, their taste in books, and the impact the recent German occupation has had on their lives. Captivated by their stories, she sets sail for Guernsey, and what she finds will change her forever.

Written with warmth and humor as a series of letters, this novel is a celebration of the written word in all its guises, and of finding connection in the most surprising ways.

The book can be purchased here for around $13 or it is also available at the library.

Have fun reading and hope to see you at our next meeting. Anyone and everyone is welcome to attend.
