We have a busy February planned with several events. Please be sure to keep up with the RSVP dates so you don’t miss something that you were really looking forward to participating in and please be sure to check out our finalized luncheon event for Cinco de Mayo.
WEDNESDAY, FEB. 2 @ 7:00 p.m. ZOOM Book Club Mtg.
We are discussing Magic Hour by Kirstin Hannah (391 pgs)
“In the rugged Pacific Northwest lies the Olympic National Forest—nearly a million acres of impenetrable darkness and impossible beauty. From deep within this old growth forest, a six-year-old girl appears. Speechless and alone, she offers no clue as to her identity, no hint of her past.
Having retreated to her western Washington hometown after a scandal left her career in ruins, child psychiatrist Dr. Julia Cates is determined to free the extraordinary little girl she calls Alice from a prison of unimaginable fear and isolation. To reach her, Julia much discover the truth about Alice’s past—although doing so requires help from Julia’s estranged sister, a local police officer. The shocking facts of Alice’s life test the limits of Julia’s faith and strength, even as she struggles to make a home for Alice-and for herself.”
If you are interested in joining us, please let me know. If you have any suggestions for our next book club in April, please feel free to send them to me. I currently have 12 people signed up to join me. If you are interested, there is still time to participate.

THURSDAY, FEB. 24 @ 7:00Â Crochet Night led by Joann Keefe
St. Paul’s Church – Basement (Mask required until you are seated.)
Joann has suggested getting variegated acrylic yarn – minimum of two 1-pound skeins.
Caron, Red Heart or Lion Brand are a few that sell the one pound skeins. Depending on the weight of yarn will dictate the size hook. This is shown on the wrapper on the skein.
We will be making granny square blankets and Joann has instructions that she will share that evening. If you are interested in learning to crochet, you are welcome to join Joann and the 17 members who are signed up. Please let Joann or I know you are coming so we can add you to the list. This event is still open.
THURSDAY, MARCH 10 @ 6:00 p.m. Your social committee has chosen to return to Fahrenheit Ceramic Studio (RSVP by 2/15)
8 South Broadway. Pitman
If you are not familiar with this event, you select a piece of ceramics of your choice to work on, and add a $4.00 studio fee which includes the painting and firing of your piece. Each attendee is responsible to pay for their choice of ceramics as well as the $4.00 fee. You can bring in snacks and beverages. This was a lot of fun when we went in the fall and was requested by several of the club members. Thursdays are half-price studio fees from 6-10 p.m. for customers 21 and up. Their normal fee is $8.00 per person. The items will be ready to be picked up the following week. Last time, I picked up everyone’s items and am anticipating doing the same this time so that we don’t all have to go back down. As an aside, there is a FABULOUS cookie place across the street called CRAVE if you chose to pick up a treat for yourself! As of this time, Holly and I have 11 people who are interested in going. This event is still open if you would like to attend. I need to give them a final count by Feb. 16
