BOOK CLUB

On-Going.........Third Thursday of each month..........Noon-1:00 pm..........No Fee

If you want to join a book club where participants tell you what they REALLY think about the book, this is the group for you.  We mince no words in discussing our likes and dislikes of a book.  We are a very informal group.  We don't have a leader, but take turns going around the room and hearing each persons views about the book.  This often leads us in to lively discussions of past events in the area or in our lives.  Before leaving, we vote on a book for the following month.  

 

AUGUST'S BOOK CLUB SELECTION
Meeting Thursday, AUGUST 19, 2010 from Noon to 1:00 pm
The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff

Author David Ebershoff mixes fact with fiction in this intelligent thriller centered around the Mormon church, and the origins of polygamy.  Ebershoff weaves together two narratives, one set in 1875, and featuring the former wife of Mormon prophet Brigham Young, and another set in present day Utah, focusing on a man who was cast out from a polygamist family.  Ebershoff seamlessly moves back and forth between the two tales, each story providing an educational and engaging account of Mormonism and the history of polygamy.  (Fiction)

Continue working with your dog to take their basic obedience skills to the next level.  In addition your canine companion is going to learn how to behave in a social setting.  The Canine Good Citizen course has been laid out and approved by the American Kennel Club.  These lessons teach your dog to mind its manners when out in public.  Skills your dog will be working on include sitting quietly by your side when you meet someone, sitting quietly by your side when meeting someone who also has a dog, allowing a stranger to touch it, not being overly anxious when you leave its sight, staying in place for an extended length of time, and learning how to be calm around unusual objects such as canes, walkers, or wheelchairs.  At the end of the seven sessions, you can voluntarily have your dog tested to see if it qualifies to become a Canine Good Citizen and receive an official certificate from the AKC.  Dogs are required to have previously attended an obedience class.  Class limited to 12 dogs, pre-payment is required.
