Ladies:
Our next book club get together will on a Saturday. The date time is Saturday, February 15, from 10:00 am to 12: 00 noon. There will be a brunch.
Menu: Bagels, Cream Cheese, Juices, Danish or other pastry, (you get the idea)
Margaret Van Hove and I will provide the bagels. I need to know what others will provide and I need an RSVP by February 13.
To end the suspense, the book is "Where the Crawdads Sings" by Delia Owens It has been on the bestseller list for 69 weeks. I read the book and it is fantastic. It starts slow and then it builds.
The summary is:
For years, rumors of the "Marsh Girl" have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand. Then the time comes when she yearns to be touched and loved. When two young men from town become intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new life--until the unthinkable happens.
Where the Crawdads Sing is at once an exquisite ode to the natural world, a heartbreaking coming-of-age story, and a surprising tale of possible murder. Owens reminds us that we are forever shaped by the children we once were, and that we are all subject to the beautiful and violent secrets that nature keeps.

Home Life
- At February's Meet and Greet I talked about the Home Life Committee and many of the projects that fall under this umbrella. One of them is the work we do with foster children.
One of our members was interested in the project where we collect small suitcases and duffel bags for foster children to put their things in when they move from home to home. This way they don't have to use black trash bags. The suitcases and duffel bags need to be in good condition. They don't need backpacks as someone else is providing those. If you have either of these items that you would like to donate, you could bring them to the monthly business meeting and I would gladly take them to the appropriate place. If you have any questions, email me at madcapmargaret@aol.com or call me at 951-966-8183. During the summer when there are no meetings, you could contact me and bring them to my house.
Thanks for your support'
Margaret Van Hove - We will continue to work with Valencia Gardens Convalescence Home.
- We are collecting luggage for foster children who have no way to transfer their clothes when they move. Luggage can be dropped off at the County Foster Care: 10281 Kidd Street, off Tyler and Hole between 9-5 any day but Fridays. Please call first and ask for Monique or Diana Jamison.
- Hi, ladies! We are asking if you have any luggage, duffel bags, backpacks,etc. in good working condition that you would be willing to donate to the Foster Kids program for college bound seniors!

Camp Anza Project
On Going Project
Dear Members,
One of our projects that helped win us a first place award at District Convention is Camp Anza, which provides veteran and low-income housing. They need men's pants, shirts and or suits in good condition for going on job interviews. They do not need women's clothes at this time. They could also use toiletries and canned food to help the families make it through the month.
They are asking for drop-off on the last Wednesday and Thursday of each month at the main building. Ask for Jessica. The address is 5797 Picker Street in the Arlanza area off Van Buren Blvd.
Ladies, please call first before you go to Camp Anza, or call when you arrive there. They keep the doors to the big main building locked, and the Mercy House Services office is upstairs. They won't hear you knock!
Ask for Sarah or Jessica.
Phone: 951-689-0797
