Dear Reading Group members,

Attached is the final outline for our discussion group tomorrow [see reading group event reminders below for time and place]. The discussion questions are only aids to discussion. Each group will not be able to discussion each question.

We are going to divide into groups of about 10 people. Each group will pick one book. We do not recommend that any group discuss Pride and Prejudice.

Elaine and I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow.

Elaine Blatt and Bill Boyd
