Early 2023 Selections

Pam Arlund

Last updated January 20, 2023 7:58pm

It was hard to choose, but I think I was able to fulfill many of the requests from you all and also get at least one book off of my bookshelf! Thanks for taking this journey with me. I was able to get some non-westerners, some modern family oriented stories, some classics, and a Roman Catholic missionary to America. So, it’s quite a wide variety.

Remember that you do have to “re-up” by contacting me before December 31st to stay in the book club into 2023. No need to do any formal registration or pay again. Just say, “I’m in!” here in Basecamp, or send me an e-mail or a Signal message or something to say you’d like to continue. I hope you will!

Book Club meeting times are usually the last Thursday or the last Sunday of the month. The only exception to this in this time period is the Thursday gathering in April. That meeting with be the second to last Thursday as a result of Pam’s schedule. Otherwise, an auto repeat on your calendar should work fine. (I’m terrible at calendaring, so if you find a mistake, please let me know! Someone probably will….)

The Zoom Link is below and will be the same for ALL Meetings for these six months. Just paste it into your calendar invite and you need never worry about it again!

Betty Greene - Founded MAF - Post WW2

This is the book I will read. It’s available in a few places but hard to get. So, I’ll scan it for you. (If you try to buy it, DO NOT buy it from Amazon. Look elsewhere on the internet.)
