Day at The Beach Cancelled!

The weather is not looking great today so we are going to cancel the Day at the Beach today! We are still going to have Book Club so please still come and enjoy discussing Jane Austen's Persuasion.

Book Club/ Beach Day

Book Club/Beach Play Day

July 17

Which would you rather do: Discuss Book Club's next read, Jane Austen's PERSUASION, at the beach with sand between your toes...or...do nothing at the beach with sand between your toes??

That's the choice Friday, July 17, when the UB Dept of Surgery Auxiliary combines its Second Annual Day At The Beach with our UB Newbie Book Club.

Happening at LaDuca's summer house in Angola, Day At The Beach includes lunch compliments of the Department of Surgery. How nice.

Bring the kids, the life jackets, the spouse (if he/she can get off) and the sunscreen. Day will include eating, swimming, discussing Persuasion, and maybe some boating (depends on the weather).

Mark your calendar. Look for your evite in July.

Next Book Club Book

The next book that our Book Club will be reading is

Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton.

We wil be meeting to discuss this book on

Monday, May 18 at Carol LaDuca's house.

Look for an evite with all the details in the beginning of May.

Souper Sunday, March 29

.

The calendar says spring. The thermometer says winter. The Auxiliary of the UB Department of Surgery says: we could use a party.

So a good-bye-winter party (ha! if that were only true!) is being planned at

.

LaDuca's in North Buffalo, Sunday, March 29, 4 p.m. to 8ish.

.

It's supper centered on soup. We're making 3 yummy kinds. Those of you who actually like to cook are invited to help Carol by slicing, dicing, chopping and chatting in the kitchen and preparing the different recipes. Others, more adverse to KP, can whine a bit or wine a bit in front of the hearth pontificating on matters of great import.

.

The official menu of Souper Sunday is soup and cider. But an optional admittance fee of a loaf of bread or a bottle of wine will go along way in ambiance development.

.

This event is very casual. The only caveat is that you have to RSVP. Here's how. Very soon you will be receiving via e-mail an "e-vite" to Souper Sunday. When it arrives in mid-March you should open it and respond yes or no where indicated. That way Carol will know how many guests to expect and you will be able to peruse the response list and anticipate with great excitement seeing old friends and making new ones.

.

Carol and John are located at 194 Morris Ave. corner of Parker Ave., Buffalo, 836-2485. Everyone welcome. We hope to see you soon.

Crime and Punishment Summary

For those of us that missed Book Club, Carol LaDuca was nice enough to write up a little summary. She also tells us what the next book will be!!!

Isabelle Posner hosted the UB Auxiliary Book Club meeting on Feb. 2. We read Crime and Punishment. Although Dostoyevsky put us to task with this long, long, LONG tome we were amply rewarded with all the richness really good literature has to offer. Those in attendance spent the evening impassioned, tripping over each others words in the excitement of adding to the conversation.
Before discussing February's book, some of the crybabies in the club (me) noted
the book was too long, Russian writers too intense and the Classics too much "work." We ended the evening by unanimously and enthusiastically picking another Russian classic. Discussion was THAT good!
Our next book is Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy. Book Club will be at Hanna Dryjski's, 280 Quail Hollow Lane, East Amherst. Look for your e-vite in mid-march with all the details. Begin reading soon! Everyone welcome!
