February 19 Meeting at Sylvia's

 GTG Book Club met at Sylvia’s on February 19.  Lunch was a picnic theme with a sundae bar for desert.  

Discussion followed about February’s book “The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post” by Allison Pataki. The book is historical fiction about the life of Marjorie Merriweather Post, heiress of Post Cereal and entrepreneur of General Foods.  Her story begins in Battle Creek, Michigan, and takes us through her rise to wealth, four marriages, hosting presidents, rescuing Russian treasurers, and her philanthropy and extensive charitable works…earning Marjorie the nickname “Lady Bountiful”.

There is significant interest by members to tour Ms. Post’s Washington, DC, home Hillwood Estate, Museum and Gardens. Stay tuned for a follow-up!

January 15 Meeting at Linda's

 The book club met Thursday at Linda’s house with 6 members present. After a lunch, the 5th book of the Alexis Forrest FBI series,  "Forest of Obsessions" by Kate Gable was discussed. While we were happy to have some closure to the mystery, we feel we’re ready to stop the series. Members can finish the series on their own if  they  so desire.  Many desserts were brought by the members and enjoyed by all along with lots of laughter. We missed those who were unable to attend.
