 ________________________________________________________________

 

Gourmet Book Club 'rituals':
 1)The "Birthday Girl" each month shall choose the book for the next month
 2) We'll choose our books and meeting times for two-six months ahead, so that we can avoid the last-minute scheduling and struggling to find a current book.

3) We’ll do our best to choose a book that no (or few) members have already read.

New Agreements (9/07)
 
1) we'll continue meeting once a month;
 2) that all are welcome, whether or not they have been able to finish the book;
 3) that we will continue to bring gourmet foods to share;
 4) that we will lay out 3-6 books ahead so there is less struggle to find the book and read it;
 5) that we will lay out dates for three months ahead;
 6) that we will designate hosts, a volunteer researcher to present information about the author and a volunteer to create some discussion-oriented questions for each meeting
.
