For those who were at our Spring book club and read “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” I came across this article by the same author and thought you’d enjoy reading it.

Also, we had a couple of additional suggestions for our next gathering, so here’s the final list. If you already voted and want to change your mind, that’s fine. Just please make your suggestion(s) to me by next Friday, 9/2, and I’ll let you know our choice for the November discussion.

Idiot America – How Stupidity Became a Virtue in the Land of the Free – by Charles P Pierce

Tear Down This Myth – How the Reagan Legacy Has Distorted our Politics and Haunts our Future – by Will Bunch

 American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America

Founding Brothers

The Nine:  Inside the World of the Supreme Court

Screwed: The Undeclared War Against the Middle Class — And What We Can Do About It

Hello BROADS (Book Readers of a Democratic Slant).

We had a great discussion last night – I always feel a little smarter after one of our get-togethers.

We also had a few new faces – welcome to Michelle Baysz and Andrea Sethi.  Betty Sharp brought a couple of new faces with her as well and I didn’t get their email addresses so I ask that Betty please forward this to them.

We’re looking for book suggestions for our next meeting (November).  Here are some that we talked about last night.  If anyone has any other suggestions, please send me the info by next Friday, 8/26.  I’ll then compile a list to send out for a vote.

American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America

Founding Brothers

The Nine:  Inside the World of the Supreme Court

Screwed: The Undeclared War Against the Middle Class — And What We Can Do About It

So please look these over and if you have any other ideas, get them to me by next Friday and then we’ll take a vote.

Cheers,
Lynn Wolfe

Hope to see you all this Thursday, 8/18, to discuss THE DEVIL IN DOVER.  Remember, even if you haven’t read the book, feel free to join us for fellowship (and I’m sure we’ll all have something to say about the latest entry into the GOP presidential field).

We’ll be meeting at Diane Groves’ home:  2508 Rosehill Lane in Plano – near the intersection of Park & Coit.

Please try to arrive between 6:45 – 7 pm.

B.Y.O.B.  Also, feel free to bring a snack to share.

Also bring ideas for our next book choice – we’ll be meeting again in November.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers,
Lynn Wolfe

The August meeting’s program topic is Issues in Women’s Health.  We will have two speakers: Dr. Kimberly Williams of Innovations Wellness Center will focus on preventive health care and what women should know and focus on; and Kelly Hart of Planned Parenthood of North Texas will explain how legislative issues and budget cuts have lowered the availability and access to such preventive measures.

This should be a very informative, passionate, and timely discussion on how women can protect themselves and their health.

Gather at 6:45. Call to order at 7:00. Preston Ridge Campus of Collin College, 9700 Wade Blvd., Frisco, Texas, Founders Hall, Shawnee Room F148. Click for detailed maps.
