A big thank you to the people who came out to support our MAY events. La Tentacion Pizza & Mexican Grill, was very well attended with thirteen members. We had a lovely lunch ordered from their special Cinco de Mayo menu, and were serenaded as we enjoyed our food. Later in the month, we were finally able to get in our Book Club discussion of The Other Birds by Sarah Addison Allen, on Zoom with eleven members.
To end our month, we had our AAA River Lady Luncheon Cruise and shopping at Smithville outing. The day could not have been any more beautiful. The group that went had a nice time on the boat, and enjoyed a meal that they had chosen from the selections offered. The shopping at Smithville was a lot of fun, and two hours was more than enough time. We were also pleasantly surprised that we had quite a few members from the Penns Grove club join us.
As our club year is coming to an end, you will notice so are our activities. However, you can see we have already been booking some upcoming events for August, and into the fall. Others, we are looking into and investigating for future planning. Please read through the list of upcoming events as there are RSVP dates that need your attention/commitment. We want to wish everyone a wonderful, relaxing summer. Hopefully, we will see you at our August Book Club and/or Welcome Back Happy Hour before we get down to work in September. Stay safe, stay well.
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 2, 7:00pm, Book Club Mtg. (Zoom)
We will be discussing, The GUNCLE by Steven Rowley. RSVP by July 30 to Jody, so you can be put on the Zoom invite list.
Patrick, or Gay Uncle Patrick (GUP, for short), has always loved his niece, Maisie, and nephew, Grant. That is, he loves spending time with them when they come out to Palm Springs for weeklong visits, or when he heads home to Connecticut for the holidays. But in terms of caretaking and relating to two children, no matter how adorable, Patrick is honestly a bit out of his league. So when tragedy strikes and Maisie and Grant lose their mother and Patrickâs brother has a health crisis of his own, Patrick finds himself suddenly taking on the role of primary guardian. Despite having a set of âGuncle Rulesâ ready to go, Patrick has no idea what to expect, having spent years barely holding on after the loss of his great love, a somewhat-stalled career, and a lifestyle not-so-suited to a six- and a nine-year-old. Quickly realizing that parentingâeven if temporaryâisnât solved with treats and jokes, Patrickâs eyes are opened to a new sense of responsibility, and the realization that sometimes, even being larger than life means youâre unfailingly human.
