Hello BROADS (Book Readers of a Democratic Slant),

We had a great discussion last week.   Michael Moore sure has led an interesting life and been in the right place at the right time to meet some interesting people!

We also had a few new faces  welcome to – Pat Alexander and Kelly Haynes, so glad that you could join us!

Here are the book suggestions that we got for the May meeting.   If anyone has any other suggestions, please get them to me by Friday (3/2) and I’ll send them out for a vote the week after that.  I’ll then compile a list to send out for a vote.

The Fox Effect: How Roger Ailes Turned a Network into a Propaganda Machine

The Dictator’s Handbook: Why Bad Behavior is Almost Always Good Politics

Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky

What’s the Matter with Kansas?: How Conservatives Won the Heart of America

Keep those suggestions coming!

Hi All,

Just wanted to send out a “Save the Date” reminder that our BROADS book club will be meeting Feb 16 – (3rd Thursday, every 3 months).

The book club will be at my house again, 2508 Rosehill LN, Plano, TX near Park and Coit… Right Behind Haggard Library.

We’ll be discussing “Here Comes Trouble: Stories From My Life” by Michael Moore

Let’s plan on meeting by 6:45ish so we can start discussing the book by 7:00. Remember – even if you haven’t read the book, please come for the good discussions.

I have 5 bottles of wine left over from last time so no one needs to bring wine and I’ll have tea and water too. Feel free to bring a snack to share if you’d like.

Also, please bring a book suggestion for our next read.

Thanks and I’ll send out another reminder a little closer.
