What's coming up for TFNBC?

Thanks to everyone who was able to come and enjoy our last discussion! This last book was really good, but challenging to read, for a few reasons. Maybe it was just hard for me because it wasn't a middle reader? :) Thanks to Pete for broadening our reading horizons and giving many of us nightmares! LOL! :)


At our Sept. dinner we discussed some changes that would take place over the next few months.

PLEASE PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE NEW MOON SECTION AS IT REQUIRES IMMEDIATE ACTION!

Here is what's happening:


October

Since we are getting closer to the holidays, and since Halloween falls on the last Friday of October, we decided it would be easiest for there to be no new read for the month of Oct. Instead, we have voted on going to dinner (dutch) at the Olive Garden in American Fork, just off the Main St. Exit, near Target, on Friday, October 23, at 6:30 pm. MARK YOUR CALENDARS NOW! Please RSVP to Sara by October 20. You may post your RSVP on here as well.

This dinner will also serve as a meeting, of sorts. We will be discussing the new year, how books will be chosen, signing up for hosting months, and other activities!

We will also be introducing a rating system for the books we're reading. This will be fun!

Also, we will vote in members and an administrative team to help pull everything together for the next year!

If there is anyone who you think would like to join us, and become a member, please bring them to this dinner! This is the time to join!! Likewise, if any of you don't think that you have the time or desire to continue for the next year, please let us know that as well.

If you live out of state, or cannot make the dinner for whatever reason, but want to be voted in as a member and have your name on a hosting list, please let us know via email or phone! We don't want you to miss out on the fun we have planned so far!



NEW MOON time!!!!

Since Thanksgiving is a major holiday and also falls at the end of the month, we won't be reading a book for November either! Instead, we are off to see NEW MOON! Yea!!! :) We are suggesting that we read New Moon in anticipation of the movie but it is just a suggestion.

We need a head count of all those who would like to go by midnight on Monday, September 28th. We will be going on Opening night, Nov. 20, to either the 7pm or 10pm show. The show time will be decided after determining how many seats we need, tickets are going fast so we will have to take what we can get that will accommodate our group size. We will let you know, after they're purchased, which show time we'll be watching!

Please email Maren at marenpaulsen@comcast.net by the deadline and let her know whether or not you will be going to New Moon as well as how many tickets you need!

Maren has been extremely kind in offering to purchase our tickets with her card so we can get them ASAP. You will be responsible to get Maren you money on or before our Oct. dinner at Olive Garden! If you commit to going to the movie but are unable to come for some reason, you will still be responsible to pay Maren for your ticket. (this pretty much goes without saying, right)!


Tickets cost $9/person. You will have a reserved seat at the Thanksgiving Point Megaplex Theatre. We hope to have a good, fun crowd for this!!



December

Once again, there will be no read for December, due to the busyness of the Holidays! We will be having a book club Christmas party!!

Mary Knight has graciously offered her home for these festivities! More details on this activity will be given at our October dinner!
