The Jane Austen Book Club for July welcomed three new fervent Jane Austen fans and celebrated a birthday!  Sara, one of our graduating seniors, was the birthday girl and Joann made a very tasty and tender cake with an inscription for "All Jane Austen heroes wish Sara a Happy Birthday."

 Rhett Butler's People by Donald McCaig

The June meeting of the Jane Austen Book Club was great fun as we discussed the varied world of "fan-fiction", published and non-published. Thousands of books have been written about the characters first introduced by Jane - some wonderful, some not so great.  Our three graduating Seniors were congratulated and each presented with a Jane Austen Action Figure to take off to college with them.  Strawberries and cream, chicken salad on mini-croissants, scones with lemon curd, and a lovely Fontina cheese tempted our palates along with several pots of tea.
