TUESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 2023:
30th Anniversary Dinner Terra Nova – 590 Delsea Drive- Sewell
Sneak Peek into 2024
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 3, 2024: 7pm
Zoom Book Club Mtg.
We will be discussing Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus Please RSVP by 12/28 to Jody to be placed on the Zoom invite list.
âChemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing. But itâs the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute take a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans, the lonely, brilliant, Nobel-prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with â of all things â her mind. True chemistry results. Like science, life is unpredictable. Which is why a few years later, Elizabeth Zott finds herself not only a single mother, but the reluctant star of Americaâs most beloved cooking show, Supper at Six. Elizabethâs unusual approach to cooking (âcombine one tablespoon acetic acid with a pinch of sodium chlorideâ) proves revolutionary. But as her following grows, not everyone is happy. Because as it turns out, Elizabeth Zott isnât just teaching women to cook. Sheâs daring them to change the status quo.â

Zoom Book Mtg. Go As a River by Shelly Read
Please RSVP by 3/3 to Jody to be placed on the Zoom invite list.
âIn the spirit of Where the Crawdads Sing, and set amid the beauty and wilderness of the Colorado mountains, an unforgettable and deeply moving story of a young woman who follows her heart. Seventeen-year-old Victoria Nash runs the household on her family’s peach farm in the small ranch town of Iola, Coloradoâthe sole surviving female in a family of troubled men. Wilson Moon is a young drifter with a mysterious past, displaced from his tribal land but determined to live as he chooses. Victoria’s chance encounter with Wil on a street corner profoundly alters both of their young lives, igniting as much passion as danger. When tragedy strikes, Victoria leaves the only life she has ever known, fleeing into the nearby mountains. Taking shelter in a small hut, she struggles to survive in the wilderness, with no clear notion of what her future will be. As the seasons change, she also charts the changes in herself, finding in the natural world the strength and meaning that set her on a quest to regain all that she has lost, even as the Gunnison River rises to submerge her homelandâits ranches, farms, and the beloved peach orchard that has been in her family for generations. Inspired by true events surrounding the destruction of the town of Iola in the 1960s, Go as a River is a story of deeply held love in the midst of hardship and loss, but also of finding courage, resilience, friendship, and finally, homeâwhere least expected.
Other Possibilities we are looking into:
- Fahrenheit Ceramic Studio
- Coffee Flights at Death of the Fox
- Westville Brewery
- Eight & Sand Trivia Night
- Woodstown Central RR
