In March, they will be discussing Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline and will meet on March 26 at 2 pm at the home of Maryalice Taflan, Calle de la Rosas (phone: ). Happy Get-Togethers: In even number months (skipping December), we will be having a happy hour get-together at a member's home or in a designated venue, usually on the first Sunday of the month. Like the Supper Club, the host/hostess can set the theme, timing and any other parameters. When the event is at a members' home, please bring an appetizer to share and your own beverage of choice (alcohol, beer, juice, soda, or wine). If you are interested in joining this group, please contact Valerie or vcollins3@san.rr.com. Sunday Supper Club meets several times a year at members' homes. Each dinner party group is limited to eight, with some flexibility such as having some parties of 6, depending upon the number of people that sign up and can come on the designated date (Sunday evening of odd months at 5 PM). The host/hostess sets the theme and time and provides the entrée and accompanying wine. The "guests" would provide the appetizer with wine or cocktail, salad or cheese course with a wine pairing, and dessert with wine or after dinner drink--as desired. The supper party groups would differ from the wine groups in that they would be smaller and include a "sit down" dinner. It would be expected that each couple (or two singles) would take a turn at hosting the event.
