This Week: Playgroup, Friday, Big Sky Park

Keep your fingers crossed for warm weather. We'll meet at 10:00 am at Big Sky Park. Feel free to e-mail me if you need directions or want more information (contact@bendap.org).

This Week: Book Group Meets

If you have read this month's book selection (Your Blues Ain't Like Mine by Bebe Moore Campbell) or would like to participate in the discussion, join us at 6:30 at Wild Oats on Tuesday, March 28th.

Some questions this month's leaders offered for us to think about before the discussion are:

1) How is this a book about fathers and sons?

2) How are sexism and racism intertwined in this book?

3) This was perhaps the author's first book. What, if any, are its failings?

Hope to see you there, and feel free to e-mail me (cathjasp@gmail.com) if you have any questions.

Book Group

Tuesday, March 28
Your Blues Ain't Like Mine by Bebe Moore Campbell
6:30 at Wild Oats Cafe.

For some background on this month's book selection, you can visit Campbell's website. The library only owns one copy, so add your name to the list, or last time I checked there were some really cheap used books you could order from Amazon, as cheap as $4.03 including shipping.

Keep in mind future titles:

Tuesday, April 25, Raising Our Children, Raising Ourselves: Transforming Parent-child Relationships from Reaction And Struggle to Freedom, Power And Joy by Naomi Aldort

Tuesday, May 23, We Are the Ones We Have Been Waiting For: Light in a Time of Darkness by Alice Walker
