Karen (Assistant Deputy Director) and I had a wonderful experience last night. We got to visit our first “One Book One Town” book club meeting. We put the word out that we would love to come and visit book clubs in Fairfield to join in their conversations about ”Three Cups of Tea”. The Hadassah Club of Fairfield invited us to meet with them last night (our first one) and we had a wonderful time. What a smart, thoughtful, compassionate group of women!!
Karen and I are using the theme of failure, fate and the impact one person can make in the world. We had a great discussion about being passionate (am I as passionate as Greg?), about failure (do Americans like to recognize failure?) and about fate (Greg’s incredible turn of events that led him and his family to Pakistan and it’s people). Thank you Lila for opening your home to us, and thank you Hadassah women for allowing us to participate in such a stimulating conversation.
Karen and I will be visiting about 11 more book clubs throughout the next two months so stay tuned for more great thoughts and conversations. Oh, and check out our Flickr account to see our “first” book club snapshot - we hope to get one from each group we visit.
