2022 Book Club AGM


Our book club has been together 19+ years and read almost 200 books!!! 

Our previous two AGMs were virtual, but this year we were able to get together in person again in Haliburton at Nicki's, our gracious host for so many years.

I almost missed the AGM this year! Originally scheduled for earlier in June when I would have been in Greece, thankfully the date was moved to the end of the month. 

Warmer weather = swimming in the lake.  

Liz and I drove up Friday and so were able to spend another evening enjoying Nicki's company before the hubub of everyone's' full arrival.

I'm looking forward to discussing all the books on the reading list. Many of the alternates are now also on my 'to read.'
