Colleen's Summer Schedule

Colleen will be on vacation from Sun, July 28-Fri, Aug 9 and will not be checking email. If you have any situations that need immediate attention during this time, please contact Nancy Siegel at nsiegal185@msn.com

Book Group

Our next book group meeting will be tomorrow: Fri, August 9 at 7pm at Central One Bank, 40 South Street, Westborough. The book this month is The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese.

Abraham Verghese's The Covenant of Water is an expansive, multi-generational tale of an Indian family whose members all suffer from what is termed the “Condition.” From the story's opening in 1900 to its close in 1977, this Condition leads to the death by drowning of many members of the family, usually male.

Please contact Susie Wells with any questions: susie48winnip@gmail.com.

All are welcome!
