What we’re about
CALLING ALL BOOMERS IN THE ANN ARBOR AREA FOR REVELS! Revel definition: to enjoy oneself in a lively and noisy way! Boomer definition: anyone born between 1946-1964!

There will be merriment at restaurants, plays, movies, the comedy club, the bar, the dance floor, happy hours, card playing, museums, wine tastings, summer walks/kayaking/biking, concerts, A2 Art Fair, local or international travel , Spanish culture/language or in home potlucks.
Please sign up for email updates so we can contact you. Your email will not be public.
That said...there are some rules.
Please post a close up photo of your face and a name (not a number) when you request to be a member!
If you respond "yes" for an event please show up on time. If you change your mind please change your RSVP to "no" so the event host is not waiting and watching for you.
If you respond "yes" and the event fills, you will move to the "wait list"...but if you change your mind...please change your response to "no". The wait list moves up automatically when someone drops out. So pay attention to the wait list and your email.
If you "no show" 3 times without a good excuse to the event host or to me you will risk being removed from the group.
After those admonitions we DO hope to see you at an event! You make the meetup!!

See all- Novel Revelry: "The Sparrow" by Mary Doria RussellAnn Arbor District Library: Malletts Creek Branch, Ann Arbor, MI
Let's read "The Sparrow" By Mary Doria Russell and get together to discuss it.
The Sparrow (1996) is the first novel by author Mary Doria Russell. It won the Arthur C. Clarke Award, James Tiptree Jr. Award, Kurd-Laßwitz-Preis and the British Science Fiction Association Award. It was followed by a sequel, Children of God, in 1998. The title refers to Gospel of Matthew 10:29–31, which relates that not even a sparrow falls to the earth without God's knowledge thereof.Nancy Pearl, in an article in Library Journal about book-club recommendations published five years after The Sparrow came out, felt that this book was mistakenly categorized as science fiction, and that it is really "a philosophical novel about the nature of good and evil and what happens when a man tries to do the right thing, for the right reasons and ends up causing incalculable harm".
This is the same author who wrote a novel we read, "The Women of Copper country".
