" All three books will be available for purchase and can be signed by the author.
Something new is taking place on Oct. 22 in the John D. Bare Center. A Book Clubber group is being formed to promote an exchange of ideas. If you are a part of a book group and would like to energize your club, feel free to join us.
Finally, you are invited to return at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 24, for the program "After Katrina," presented by Dale Gordon. Gordon is a native Hanoverian and has been a member of First United Methodist Church for more than 60 years, where he is part of the "volunteer in mission" team. Gordon has volunteered his time and efforts over the course of eight mission trips, three of which were in the Gulf Coast area.
He helped rebuild private homes in the ravaged area affected by Katrina, and will present a slide show of the rebuilding efforts, both past and ongoing. The program will be held in the John D. Bare Center. We hope you can attend the event covering this eye-opening story.
