Thanks to all who came out last evening — what a fun discussion!  I love being around all you smart women.

A special thanks to Diane Groves for hosting.  And a big, happy “welcome back” to Kim Adams.

Here are the books we discussed for our next get-together (February 2012).  Please look over the suggestions and get your vote back to me by Monday, 11/28.  I’ll then send out the choice.

Jacqueline Kennedy: Historic Conversations on Life with John F. Kennedy

Pearls, Politics, and Power: How Women Can Win and Lead

The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism

Here Comes Trouble: Stories from My Life

Back to Work: Why We Need Smart Government for a Strong Economy

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

As mentioned last evening, I’ll be turning over the running of the book club to Diane Groves’ capable hands.  She’ll be heading up TDWCC’s social events starting January 2012.

If you have any questions/comments, let me know.

Cheers,
Lynn Wolfe

Hello BROADS (Book Readers of a Democratic Slant).

Just wanted to check in and remind you that our next discussion will be Thursday, 11/17. We’ll be discussing:

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

Let’s plan on meeting by 6:45 so we can start discussing the book by 7 pm.  REMEMBER . . . even if you haven’t read the book, you are more than welcome to come.  I don’t think one needs to read the book to know that there’s a war on the middle class.  Come for the fellowship – come to vent!

Diane Groves has once again opened her home to us.  Her address is 2508 Rosehill Ln., Plano. It’s near Park and Coit (sort of behind the library).

Please BYOB and feel free to bring a snack to share if you’d like.  Also, please bring book suggestions for our next read.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers,
Lynn Wolfe

September’s meeting features Bobette Brasfield of Texas Conservation Alliance, which runs a program called Smarter Water for North Texas. She says, “The good news is that we have enough water in existing reservoirs to meet our water needs for the next 50 plus years! We can avoid new reservoirs which would destroy many thousands of acres of bottomland hardwood forest while uprooting families and harming existing local economies if we make the right allocation and use decisions.” Join us as we explore the low-impact water supply options that will allow us to avoid the monetary and human costs associated with unnecessary new reservoirs.

Bobette Brasfield is a native Texan from Grand Prairie. She is retired from Texas Instruments where she served as a Division Controller and Finance Manager. Bobette has a BA in Business Management and a Master of Science Degree in Environmental Science with a concentration in water issues from the University of North Texas. She has been an environmental educator for many years, working with the City of Coppell, Texas Master Naturalist Program, U.S. National Park service, Texins Dive Club and Dallas Audubon Society.
