Good Bye Old Friend...The Meeting Place

All of our book club was sadden by the news that our meeting place of over 88 times, would cease to be there after the January meeting.

Rumors ciculated around that they were closing due to illness, and that the ship would close it's doors in February before the book club meeting.

After the shock and awe subsided, the question in everyone's mind is...Where do we have bookclub now? After having it for so long at Fat Man's, and it's convenient location of right across the street from the library, it was just a surprise to all.

Where do we have bookclub? Why we have it at the only other restaurant that is available for breakfast, Our Hometown Restaurant. They were gracious enough to let us come and try it there. It wasn't too bad. Everyone just needs to get used to the fact that we have to have it somewhere new. And new it shall be.

The new option is, that the person who picks the book, also picks the location. So far we had the discussion after Fat Man's closing at OHR. We then tried the library as a position for the meetings. So, we then came up with an offereing, like I said, that whoever's turn it was to pick a book, will also pick the location. It seems like a good comprimise for now.
