Jane's moving to Monday night!

The Jane Austen Book Club is moving to Monday night!  Yes, the competition for well- read, intelligent company is intense and after much discussion, we have decided to yield Wednesday night to the many delights of choral music.  Therefore, we will be meeting on the second Monday of every month in the McIntyre room in the Carnegie Building from 6:00 until 8:00.

In January we had a very pleasant evening, with excellent company and lively discussion.  The scones, muffins, shortbread biscuits (that's cookies in Brit speak) and ginger cake were enjoyed, along with several varieties of tea and a pot of coffee. 

During December we will be reading Emma.  Don't forget to tune in to Masterpiece Theatre in January - they will be showing adaptations of all six Austen novels.  What raptures will then ensue!
