Book Club Ledyard Senior Center Ladies of Leisure Wine Tasting Compass

Book Club

Bookclub for April has been moved to May! Our book is still Moloka'i by Alan Brennert, bookclub will be held at Tastings in Mystic. Date as yet to be confirmed, those wishing to attend should e-mail Pippa to let her know suitable dates.

Moloka'i is set in Hawai'i more than a century ago and is an extraordinary epic of a little-known time and place - and a deeply moving testament to the resiliency of human spirit.
Rachel Kalama, a spirited seven-year-old Hawaiian girl, dreams of visiting far-off lands like her father, a merchant seaman. Then one day a rose-coloured mark appears on her skin, and those dreams are stolen from her. Taken from her home and family, Rachel is sent to Kalaupapa, the quarantined leprosy settlement on the island of Moloka'i. Here her life is supposed to end - but instead she discovers it is only just beginning.

Regards,
Pippa.

Ladies of Leisure

The Ladies of Leisure will get together one last time for the SOSA year. We are meeting on Monday, May 17th at 6:30pm. We are headed to the Clayroom, located at 1064 Poquonock Rd, Groton (that's Rt 1, next to the Dunkin Donuts and Book Trader). The Clayroom is an art studio where you can paint your own pottery. There is an $8 sitting fee that covers all supplies. You also pay for the cost of the pieces you choose. You can read more about the shop by going to their website, www.clayroomgroton.com. We do need to get an accurate count for this event, so please RSVP to me by Thursday, May 13th. Also, we will be looking for a new Ladies of Leisure chair for next year. Let me know if you are interested!

Take care,
Brenda
