Happy 10th Anniversary Spring Bay Bookies
We had a great time today at our celebration held at The Flame Restaraunt.
After the photo session (thanks Grant) we had a great meal.
I would like to add the service was wonderful and the foot was great.
After lunch we discussed The Girl She Used to Be by David Cristofano.
Debbie B was our hostess. We all enjoyed the book. Debbie shared some interesting facts about the witness protection program. I will say no more but check out this book.
Special thanks to the Illinois Prairie District Public Library director, board members, and the staff at Metamora library for your support and time Without your help, this club would not be celebrating 10 years. We appreciate your interest and support in our book club
