Hostesses Nancy Ladshaw, Darla Miles, Judy Overton, and Sherri Judice held September’s Book Club Meeting on September 12, 2023 at Nancy’s home. September’s book was Thunder Dog: The True Story of A Blind Man, His Guide Dog, and the True Meaning of Trust by Michael Hingson with Susy Flory.

The meeting was held the day after “Patriot Day,” the National Day of Observance that honors the memory of those who were killed in the 9/11 attacks, about which this book is written. Patriot Day was first observed on 9/11/2002, a year after the attacks. Out of respect for this somber time in history, and to honor those lost and the resilience and patriotism of our great Nation, the hostesses used red, white, and blue décor throughout, and dressed accordingly.

As usual, the hostesses prepared food mentioned in the book, such as egg rolls and ham and cheese croissant sandwiches. Chicken salad sandwiches were served as standard staple for parties. Banana splits and Klondike ice cream bars were served for desserts.

Our October book club meeting will be held on October 10th. We will review The Dutch House by Ann Patchett. If you are interested in joining “Hooked On Books”, please email your contact information to alanehaardt@yhoo.com. All Ladies are welcome.
