Book Discussion (Afternoon)
Conveners: Karen Doucet and Bev Hoyles(see the member directory for their contact information)Thank you to Joanne Homik, our exiting convener. She has shepherded our group these past 2 years. As per our tradition, we have revolving conveners, each person taking the responsibility for a 2 year term. So this year Karen is in her second year, and Bev has stepped up to become our incoming convener.As has become tradition, we ended the year with a lovely and lively potluck lunch in Bev’s garden. We made our book selections for the coming 2025-2026 year. The winners are:The usual eclectic selection of titles: some new, some classics, some fiction, some non-fiction. But always good stories. We will also make time for a Christmas potluck and book exchange, a visit from the current year’s UofA Writer-in-Residence Cody Caetano, and of course the year-end potluck.

We meet once each month in a member’s home, between 1:30pm and 3pm-ish. The host prepares some lightsnacks and coffee/tea. The book is presented by a designated member and then everyone has the opportunity to contribute to the discussion. With such a wide variety of personal experiences, the group has very interesting perspectives to share.
