book suggestion

Hello Ladies,

I have a suggestion for February's book (or any other month)- it's Outliers: The Story of Success by Malcolm Gladwell. It's a really fun and easy read and quite interesting- all about what factors combine to make people successful. Just an idea for you to peruse. You can learn more about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outliers_(book)

'Who Does She Think She Is?' film screening

Hello lovely ladies!

I know that there are many creative moms in our group who might be interested in an event being held next Sunday at the Courtenay Museum. 'Who does she think she is?' is a documentary, (made by the Academy Award Winning filmmaker of , 'Born into Brothels,') that deals with combining creativity with motherhood. I haven't seen the film yet, but the preview has me intrigued. Along with the movie, there will be local artists and mothers showcasing their creations. (I'll have a table of 'Grateful Mama' books, thus fulfilling the 'Who does she think she is?' requirement.)

Seating is limited, so you'll want to get tickets right away if you're interested. Here's the link: http://lianne.typepad.com/womenart/

November Meeting

Sorry that I will not be able to attend this month. I loved the book and I am disappointed that I will not be able to discuss it with all of you. However I will toast you all on Tuesday night with a Margarita on the beach in Cancun. See you all in December.
