Last Day and Year of Book Club 8/11/08

For the past four years (three for Makenna), the kids have been a part of a summer book club. They would spend about five or six Mondays out of the summer, listening to books, discussing them and then focusing on the new vocabulary they heard. The lady who organizes and leads this group has been amazing. She had amazing prizes for the kids each week and spent an enormous amount of time and money to develop a love of reading in the children. This was her seventh year and she has decided it would be her last. She accomplished her goal, which was to encourage reading in the lives of her sons. She succeeded and touched many families along the way. Thank you Miss Carolyn! We'll miss this special part of our summers.
