I wondered if the MS fundraiser had received our application, as I haven't received the trivia questions yet. When I signed on, I called us the Sunday Arvo Book Club, as we had to have a name..

Throw the Book at MS

I had a letter from the Good Reading mazazine, encouraging book groups to run their June meeting into a fund raiser for MS. They have a book trivia quiz running with book-related questions, so you can take part in that, or just do whatever you want to support MS research. For deatils have a look at www.goodreadingmagazine.com.au.

There is a also a public Trivia Night at the Paddington Town Hall on Wed 4th June if people are interested. I have signed up to get the trivia quiz and maybe we can do something extra. What do you reckon?

Regards

Patricia
June Book:
The Good Parents by Joan London
Have a look at the review by Michael McGirr in Spectrum on 3 May, which starts' 'Joan London writes wonderfully about intimacy between strangers.'

By the way, the May bookgroup is at Sue Ellyard's place and apparently I missed a top turnout and discussion at Margaret's last time for Salmon Fishing.
cheers till next time,
Patricia
