fc lIFE FEB 2019

Nina Botel, Chair of the book talks and Martina have a one time offer for us. Instead of paying for all three of the book talks, this month only ever you can just pay a nominal fee for the last book talk. The reason being is that last year’s discussion leader was not very good and disliked by many who attended. As a result , this year the attendance was down from past years. Nina has been able to get Sandra Biber Didner to be this year’s leader and everyone who has attended this year only has accolades for her. So that all who were not happy last year and new members to the book discussions, PLEASE come Wednesday, March 13th to the living room and be pleased with Sandra. She points out so many things and innuendos that you may have missed reading or never thought about and relates the book so well, either you want to go back and reread the book or if you never read the book go home and read it. She is so good that if you do not have time on such short notice to read The Immortalists , you can still come and enjoy the discussion . The book is titled, The Immortalists, by Chole Benjamin. It is about four teens, who having gone to a psychic are told the date they may pass away. Does it come true and how do these teens handle such news is the premise of the story. It is not sad and sometimes very light but one that calls for much discussion and imagination. So save the date, call the food and beverage office, 273-2648, to make your reservation.

The Nine, Wine and Dine tournament on February 15 was almost a carbon copy of the January event. There were close to 180 sign-ups, this tournament just gets more and more popular and fun. Golfers, divided into four flights, again more than covering both courses, played the step-aside scramble format. The successful choice of new prizes given was repeated, with the Grill Room dinners for all winners in each flight and bottles of wine for all second place finishers. The cocktails. hors d’oeuvres and wonderful buffet dinner following golf were as everyone always expects them to be– a lovely conclusion to a great day. Many thanks to our super chef, dining , office and golf staffs for all the organizing and preparation they did to help co- chairs Robin Rosenblatt and Sue Shaw who also deserve thanks for providing everyone with a wonderful day and anticipation for the next one.
