"Books + Friendship = Book Club" *

Wednesday afternoons at The Armed Forces Retirement Home located in Washington, DC, just outside the doors of the main library in a lovely reading room, the book club that has routinely met beginning September of 2017 continues to read, discuss, and critique great books. Being a member of "Glenna's Book Club," is such a fulfilling and all inspiring privilege-especially that I am sitting alongside America's Finest.

Meet Mila! She Found Us...

For more years than I can recall, our family has been surrounded by some of the most unique and irresistible four-legged creatures. More often than not, our family pets have found their way to us. Just recently while working with a national pet adoption service, we met and became the caregivers for one delightful six month old named Mila. Mila has won the hearts of our family...including our six year old rough and tough BOLT!

Hail And Farewell!

As our Book Club at The Armed Forces Retirement Home, Washington, D.C. bids farewell to one of our avid readers Stan Stewart, we were all excited to "welcome" several new members to our group!

A School Based Community Outreach-A Dedicated Promotion Of Literacy

Patrick Henry Elementary School, Alexandria City School System, wrapped their arms around their school-based community during the evening hours of March 1...all for the love of reading.  The administration and the staff members alike, provided for their "Community of Learners" a Reading Is Fundamental Book Distribution that welcomed the students of Patrick Henry Elementary School and their family members.  Laughter, conversations, and good will could be seen from one end of the school cafeteria to the other.

It's A Wrap

February 14th at The Armed Forces Retirement Home, Washington, D.C. for my Book Club was a celebration on multiple accounts. We enjoyed special and delicious treats in honor of Valentine's Day, and we completed our discussion (for the time being) of our "designated read," 1776, written by David McCullough. Our discussions for the past month while reading 1776, were much like our previous book talks...lively, most informative, and very thought provoking.

For The Love of Reading

The school library at John Adams Elementary School, Alexandria, Virginia, was "glowing" during their February 14 & 15 Reading Is Fundamental Book Distribution.  The theme, "For The Love of Reading" for this bigger than life literacy initiative, was evident throughout the entire Media Center at John Adams Elementary.
