Let's have another book club & potluck!
Location:
One of our members is going to host this at her neighborhood's clubhouse. The neighborhood is Stonewater Creek in Millsboro.
RSVP Information:
Please make sure you update your RSVP immediately if you can't attend. Since we will be off the beach, we have to limit the guest count. I want to make sure everyone who actually wants to be there has a spot. Please keep in mind that even if you're on the waitlist, a spot almost always opens up!
Potluck:
No theme - mystery potluck! Bring whatever dish or drink you'd like! No need to tell us. You do not need to bring plates, cups, napkins, etc. Just bring whatever potluck item you choose and serving utensils for that if needed!
Book:
Happiness for Beginners by Katherine Center
About:
A year after getting divorced, Helen Carpenter, thirty-two, lets her annoying, ten years younger brother talk her into signing up for a wilderness survival course. It's supposed to be a chance for her to pull herself together again, but when she discovers that her brother's even-more-annoying best friend is also coming on the trip, she can't imagine how it will be anything other than a disaster. Thus begins the strangest adventure of Helen's well-behaved life: three weeks in the remotest wilderness of a mountain range in Wyoming where she will survive mosquito infestations, a surprise summer blizzard, and a group of sorority girls. Yet, despite everything, the vast wilderness has a way of making Helen's own little life seem bigger, too. And, somehow the people who annoy her the most start teaching her the very things she needs to learn. Like how to stand up for herself. And how being scared can make you brave. And how sometimes you just have to get really, really lost before you can even have a hope of being found.
