We all know someone who is currently dealing with cancer or who has had cancer. Let's support those individuals and honor those we have lost to cancer by participating in Pink on Parade which supports The Pink Ribbon Place!
For those who are not familiar with The Pink Ribbon Place, it was established in 2006 to serve families and individuals impacted by breast cancer and other cancers throughout the Inland Empire by offering services such as counseling and resources like wigs at no-cost. They are a nonprofit and depend on donations to provide services and resources.

October 30, 2020 - Book Club Meeting 6:00 PM - At RWC
The next Book Club meeting will be held on Friday October 30th at 6:00 pm. It will be an "in-person" socially-distanced meeting at the clubhouse. All participants must wear a mask except when taking a sip of your drink/water. If more than 10 are planning to participate, it will be changed to a video chat.
The book selection is Full Dark, No Stars by New York Times bestselling author Stephen King. It is a collection of four short stories that explore the dark side of human nature. Our discussion leader is Erin Synder. Below is a summary of the 4 short stories.
1922: "I believe there is another man inside every man, a stranger..." writes Wilfred Leland James in the early pages of the riveting confession that makes up "1922." For James, that stranger is awakened when his wife, Arlette, proposes selling off the family homestead and moving to Omaha, setting in motion a gruesome train of murder and madness.
Big Driver: A cozy-mystery writer named Tess encounters the stranger along a back road in Massachusetts when she takes a shortcut home after a book-club engagement. Violated and left for dead, Tess plots a revenge that will bring her face-to-face with another stranger: the one inside herself.
Fair Extension: This is the shortest of these tales. Making a deal with the devil not only saves Dave Streeter from a fatal cancer but provides rich recompense for a lifetime of resentment.
Good Marriage: When her husband of more than twenty years is away on one of his business trips, Darcy Anderson looks for batteries in the garage. Her toe knocks up against a box under a worktable and she discovers the stranger inside her husband. It's a horrifying discovery, rendered with bristling intensity, and it definitely ends a good marriage.
