Our Fifth Anniversary Celebration took place on November 30th. It featured charades led by Carolyn Hasler, a poetry slam, and a new-fangled game we called "Who Said It?"
Lisa Gasstrom read an original anniversary poem. Its final stanza:
I do have one request, though, (from this not-very-faithful bookie).
When we come out on Monday nights,
Could we please have a better cookie?
We were honored to have with us the president of the Long Island Great Books Council, Mr. Grahme Fischer. Grahme has been involved with Great Books for some forty years, and he organizes the annual Long Island Great Books Spring Institute, a day-long event of discussion and ingestion.
To everyone, a joyous holiday season!
