BOOK CLUB #1

Contact Jeanne Hero or Amber Wickwire

The ICH Book Club #1 meets on the 4th Thursday of every month to discuss a book, usually fiction, chosen at our annual selection meeting in January. After coffee and munchies, we sit down for a spirited consideration of the book.

BOOK GROUP #2

Contact Anni Drukier or Sue Attoe

The ICH Book Club #2 meets on the 2nd Wednesday of the month at 10:15 a.m.

The group chooses the books based upon membersʼ recommendations of the books theyʼve read. In view of the international aspect of the group, books are chosen which will expand our knowledge and understanding of different cultures.

BOOK GROUP #3

Contact Fulvia Croce

The new ICH Book Club #3 has yet to start. Fulvia was thinking of having it every third Wednesday of the month at 10.00am but invites you to contact her to see what time is most convenient to you and to discuss what type of books you would like to read.

COOKING CLUB

Contact Margaret Whitfield

The Cooking Club meets once a month in the home of the hostess who has kindly volunteered to demonstrate how to prepare and cook some of her favorite recipes.  The only commitment is to host one time and cook for between 5-12 ladies.  If you prefer you can get together with another member to prepare and demonstrate.  If you feel your home is not large enough we can arrange another venue for you. If you are interested in joining the Cooking Club please contact Margaret Whitfield.

Barbara, an ESL teacher, has offered to start an ʻEnglish Conversationʼ group. If you wish to improve your understanding of the English language in an informal and friendly environment contact Barbara. The group will meet every second Tuesday of the month at 10.30am.

THE LONE STAR STITCHES

"Since the number of ICH stitch enthusiasts has grown to the point that our Lonestar Stitchers group is struggling to fit into homes for meetings, we find it necessary to close our group's membership list at this time. Each of our members loves getting together to share hobbies, ideas and friendship, so we hope this will not discourage, but inspire any new stitchers to form a second group of their own. Our current members look forward to supporting the new group leader and members as well as going on an occasional 

outing together. Thank you for your understanding." Peg Ingebretson
