Our book club met on April 26th to discuss Still Alice by Lisa Genova. I was very happy to see almost everyone could make it, plus one lovely new face. We welcomed a new member, Neeta, who is friends with Chitra. After meeting her and learning about her family, it was discovered that my son and her son are the same age and attend the same school. Imagine that!

Since it was my turn to host, I worked hard at finding a place to accommodate our large (and sometimes noisy) group. I ended up choosing The Long Grove Cafe. What a perfect place to meet a group of great women for a book discussion. Next time, we will go in the summer and sit out on the patio overlooking the lake. We had great service, yummy food and as always, thought provoking discussions. Although Kenny Cheseny was unable to make it (from my dream the night before), we still had a great time.

Everyone seem to enjoy the book and found it to be a must read for anyone! It really made us all examine the aging process and how scary Alzheimer's can be for anyone affected by this horrible disease.

We discussed our KIVA loan and I said I would choose the next group to lend our money to. What a positive experience this was the first time and I can't wait to choose another worthy group of people and help them make their business dreams come true. I will post a link to our group once I have made a choice.
