| Wednesday, August 1: The Women's Sharing Circle will meet
from 9:30-11:30 a.m. at the Fire Station at 2109 Sam Houston Avenue. The topic
is favorite books.
In September
of 1997, author and newspaper columnist Jacquelyn Mitchard
published a list of the ten most influential books in her life. A month later
she listed the top ten books from those suggested by her readers. Recently a
writers' group from the University of Pennsylvania began compiling a list of
favorite books. That list is very different from the better-known books on
Mitchard’s lists. We’ll take a look at these lists and then create our own.
Before you come, think of what books/readings have been most significant,
thought provoking, or just enjoyable. We will go around the circle with each
giving the name of one selection and a brief statement of its subject matter
or value. We will continue around the circle as many times as we can until
11:00. Roberta Krock, the discussion leader for this meeting, will compile
our list and distribute it at the next meeting.
Wednesday, August 8:

Sunday, August 12, 10:30 a.m., Laura Chapel at HMH
Dr. Frank Schulman's topic is "Beliefs held by all World Religions."
Dr. Shulman says: "One of the positive developments of recent years is the
interest in world religions. There is a glorious variety of practice and belief.
From studying them we learn that there are important beliefs held in common by
them all. There are at least four beliefs basic to all world religions."
Sunday, August 26, 10:30 a.m., Laura Chapel at HMH
Group consensus at the July meeting was that we would meet for
an hour of hymn singing at 10:30 AM on Sunday, August 26 at the Laura Chapel at
Huntsville Memorial Hospital.
For Your Information
Stroke of Hope Support Group for Stroke Victims & Care Givers:
Over a year ago there was organized in Huntsville a
support group composed of individuals who have had a stroke and their
caregivers. Participants have found this group to be very beneficial,
enabling one another to discuss their concerns and frustrations and gaining
insights, support, and encouragement from each other. There is no membership
fee and no charge for attending our meetings. We have met the third
Wednesday of each month at 4:00 PM in the meeting room of the Heritage
Program, 3rd floor of Huntsville Memorial Hospital.
The Heritage Program has now moved into larger quarters and the support
group will begin meeting at the Heritage Program's new address, 1213 Avenue
O & 13th Street, near the Ella Smither Geriatric Center. There will be no
meeting in July. The next meeting will be Wednesday, August 15, 2001, at
4:00 PM. For more information you may call Joyce or John Hilliard at
295-9548.
