February 17, 2021 - Social Hour 5:00 PM - Zoom
In these days of the pandemic, our club continues to be prohibited from gathering together in our clubhouse for business meetings, social events and doing projects. This lack of connection and camaraderie takes its toll on our bond as club sisters. We have planned for a Zoom Social Hour that we might share some enjoyable time together and keep getting to know one another.
We are designing our Social Hour on the book: If…Question for the Game of Life by Evelyn McFarlane and James Saywell. Three facilitators will select from the amusing and intriguing questions from the book, for example:
Joining together via Zoom while imbibing in your favorite beverage, the facilitators will ask questions chosen beforehand. The questions are thought provoking and entertaining. You are invited to answer either by being called on, or raising your hand, or, you can choose to not answer that particular question.
The first Social Hour will be held on Wednesday February 17, 2021 and will continue on the third Wednesday of each month. An RSVP will be required to attend by February 10, 2021. Please send to Georgia Anders-Kutch at gandersk@gmail.com. The Social will begin promptly at 5:00PM, no late admittance, and end at 6:00PM.

- If you could spend one whole day with anyone in history, whom would you like it to be?
- If you could suddenly possess an extraordinary talent in one of the arts, which would you like it to be?
- If you had the chance to make any one purchase that you passed up in your lifetime, what would it be?

March 12, 2021 - Book Club Meeting 6:00 PM - Zoom
Hi ladies,
If you are interested in history, you will enjoy our March reading selection: The Tubman Command: A Novel by Elizabeth Cobbs. This book is a novel but it is based on the life of Harriet Tubman and written by a historian. The book (or Kindle edition) is available from Amazon, Target, and from other sites.
We will meet online on Friday March 12th at 6:00 pm to discuss it. I will sent out the link for the online Zoom meeting in March.
Below this email is a short summary of the story and here's a video of an interesting lecture given by the author about Harriet and the book at the Rancho Mirage Writers Festival (45 minutes).

Book Summary:
The Tubman Command: A Novel by Elizabeth Cobbs
A novel about Harriet Tubman and her leadership in a Union raid to free 750 slaves. It's May 1863. Outgeneraled and outgunned, a demoralized Union Army has pulled back with massive losses at the Battle of Chancellorsville. Fort Sumter, hated symbol of the Rebellion, taunts the American navy with its artillery and underwater mines. In Beaufort, South Carolina, one very special woman, code named Moses, is hatching a spectacular plan. Hunted by Confederates, revered by slaves, Harriet Tubman plots an expedition behind enemy lines to liberate hundreds of bondsmen and recruit them as soldiers. A bounty on her head, she has given up husband and home for the noblest cause: a nation of, by, and for the people.
The Tubman Command tells the story of Tubman at the height of her powers, when she devises the largest plantation raid of the Civil War. General David Hunter places her in charge of a team of black scouts even though skeptical of what one woman can accomplish. For her gamble to succeed, "Moses" must outwit alligators, overseers, slave catchers, sharpshooters, and even hostile Union soldiers to lead gunships up the Combahee River. Men stand in her way at every turn--though one reminds her that love shouldn't have to be the price of freedom.
