Book Club: An Archive

A few weeks ago Gwyn dropped by the Book Club (Thursday mornings, 10 a.m. in the conference room) and she suggested that we make a list of all the books we have read. This morning we tried, we know this is incomplete and we also voted on which books we all liked. The books that had universal appeal are marked in bold face. Now, we are a pretty diverse group and universal appeal is pretty hard to come by. These are in no particular order:

The Memory Keeper's Daughter
The Shack
Eat, Love, Pray
The Help
The Color of Water
The Same Kind of Different as Me
The Last Gift Of Time, Heilbrun (R.I.P.)
The Beekeeper's Daughter
Tuesdays with Morrie
The Five People You Meet in Heaven
Have a Little Faith
The Gift of Change, Williamson
In the Bleak Mid Winter
I heard that song Before, Clark
Population 495
Leaving Church, Taylor
Three Cups of Tea, Mortensen
The DaVinci Code
Misquoting Jesus
Angels and Demons
Changing Light
The Language of God
Evensong, Gail Goodwin

If you are an alum of Book Club and remember more titles, please pass them along!

Postal Food Drive

May 8th is the collection of the Postal Food Drive at the Nanuet Post Office. This year the new postmaster has graciously allowed us to pick up the vast quantities of food on Saturday, May 8th at 4:30 p.m.

If you have never seen a postal food drive, it is definitely worth the effort to come out! We are given huge amounts of food for our Food Cupboard but the task of sorting, storing, carrying, etc. . . can be quite daunting.

We have found that our best success has come from having lots and lots of people come out and spend just a little bit of time. Could you please join us for an hour on Saturday and help us unload? It really can be quite a fun and rewarding time!

Thanks.
