Book Group Beth Blake-Hedges 972-492-1846 We had great fun last month at Abuelo's discussing "Like Water for Chocolate"; everyone really enjoyed the book and the food was a perfect accompaniment. The book group decided to meet on the second Sunday every other month from now on and the schedule is as follows: November 11th, 2001 January 1st, 2002 March 10th, 2002 May 12th, 2002 July 14th, 2002 Sept. 8th, 2002 Now, this group has been together for years and only a few of us are still PTA members. Since several current members have mentioned that they would appreciate it if we met on Saturdays instead of Sundays, I thought this might be a great chance to start doing so. If anyone would be interested in a Saturday book group, maybe one that meets the months that the first group does not, please let me know and I will set it all up. And if you have a suggestion for a book, by all means, send it my way.
