Thank you to everyone who attended this week's Book Club meeting! The next Book Club Meeting will be on Tuesday, February 21st, at 6:30 p.m. and we will be reading the biography "Hare With Amber Eyes: A Family's Century of Art and Loss" by Edmund De Waal. The book is $16 (paperback), but if you purchase a copy please let us know it is for the book club and we will give you a 10% discount.

Just a reminder that World Eye’s Charity of the Month for January is the BEACON FIELD PLAYGROUND FUND! 10% of the proceeds from all juvenile activity books purchased during the month of January will be donated to them. Activity books are a great way to beat the "winter blahs" and keep your children busy and happy! And this month, they also help support a GREAT cause!
