Meeting Information

I am posting an email sent on Friday in case I did not catch everyone's address. I look forward to seeing you all on the 25th and to receiving your book lists prior.

Hello Everyone-

I hope you are all surviving this interminable Friday afternoon. I have some information regarding upcoming meeting dates as well as a proposition that should allow us to move forward with greater ease.

The next meeting (A Year of Living Biblically) will be taking place on Monday, February 25th as originally planned. The start time, however, has been moved to 7:15pm. We will be meeting at Lockview.

Additional Information: We will be holding a (final) BABC rules and regulations meeting to determine some ground rules, pick the next few books, and, if possible, establish who will be leading these discussions. By deciding some of this in advance, even if we only attempt 2-3months at a time, it will allow us to avoid some of the confusion and provide some much needed stability.

Your ‘To-Do’ List:

1. Send me an email and let me know whether you are able to attend the R & R meeting after our discussion on Monday, February 25th. If not, we will need to look at an alternate date later in the week. (Even if you are unable or unwilling to attend the actual discussion, showing up for the post-meeting would be incredibly helpful.)

2. Begin compiling a list of books that you would enjoy reading with BABC. Ideally, this list will be kept within 5-8. If you are able to include a description and email me your list prior to the 22nd, I will provide everyone with a comprehensive listing that evening because, well, I’m a huge nerd.


3. If you have a calendar, in whatever form you use, please bring it to the meeting so that we have the opportunity to set-up some future dates that accommodate the greatest number of people.

4. If you know of individuals who may enjoy BABC, please encourage them to join. They can check out the blog, attend the meeting, or contact Eren. I would say that you could forward this email or that they could contact me, but it turns out I’m kind of scary and intense re: book club right now and I would probably demand to know their favorite book and then chastise and ridicule them for their choice.

I truly think a little pre-planning, a very little-I promise, will allow for a more relaxed book club experience.

Group Hug.

Thank-you everyone,

Nicole
