Hello guys!
When is the next event?
I've missed a lot of them so I wouldn't want to miss the next one.
May is a wonderful time for that, visiting such event would be a great start of sunny summer season!

foods for Deep Creek bookclub meeting this Sunday night
Anyone have any ideas about foods for this meeting? I think the miners would have used canned foods and biscuits and game and fish, but maybe Chinese food? Joe made chili when he ran the hotel, and I think they maybe ate fried chicken a few times for get-togethers. I don't think that I will have time to make anything, will have to pick something up at the store on the way to Beatriz's. I liked the book.
food for Sunday
I definitely think someone should make chili, although it won't be me! I have a cut & color at 3 at Ridgedale and will be coming directly from there . . . yes, that takes 2-1/2 hours.
I could bring canned biscuits or salad.
Anybody need the book?
I bought and have finished reading "Deep Creek" if anyone wants to borrow it.
November Book and Meeting Date
Hi All,
November's meeting date is actually December 4 at 6:00, Beatriz's house.
We are reading "Deep Creek" by Dana Hand, the pen name for two Princeton University professors, Midwestern Unitarians both.
Some highlights of the book
.... the Washington Post named "Deep Creek" a Best Novel of 2010;
...the main characters are a Unitarian judge, a strong, intelligent Native American woman, and an Asian student, fighting for racial justice and gender equality in a prejudiced age;
…the story centers on immigration as a moral issue in America, which is a current UU study/action topic.
… it's based on real people and events, too long forgotten: the 1887 massacre of Chinese gold miners in Hells Canyon, one lawman's lonely quest to track their killers, and the sham race-murder trial that followed.
