Fwd: Play group tomorrow!

Hey y'all,
 
  This is your friendly reminder about play group tomorrow!  We are going to go to the Fayetteville Public Library story time at 10:30 AM.  I know it's far, but it sounds really fun!  It's an hour long, so that's quite a bit longer than the one in Bentonville, and we love books!  The address is 401 W. Mountain St. in Fayetteville, and it's in the Walmart Reading Room. 
  Next Friday we're headed to the Rogers Splash Park at 10:30 AM! 
  Hope to see you tomorrow!:)

August Book Group

Ladies,

Watching Eclipse was a blast! There is nothing better than a chick flick and ice cream with friends!

We'll get back to reading for August :)

We will be discussing Prisoner of Tehran: One Woman's Story of Survival Inside an Iranian Prison by Marina Nemat. We will meet at 8:30 pm on Thursday, August 5th at Cori Graham's house. Leslee Lai will lead the discussion.

Summary of the book:

In Tehran in the early 1980s, after she leads a strike in high school to get her math teacher to teach calculus not politics, Marina, 16, a practicing Catholic, is locked up for two years and tortured with her school friends in the Ayatollah Khomeini's notorious Evin political prison. She is saved from execution by an interrogator, Ali, who wants to marry her and threatens to hurt her family and Catholic boyfriend, Andre, if she refuses. Forced to convert to Islam, she becomes Ali's wife; then he is assassinated by political rivals, and she rejoins her family and marries Andre. They immigrate to Canada in 1991. For more than 20 years, secure in her middle-class life, she keeps silent, until she writes this unforgettable memoir. Haunted by her lost friends and by her betrayal of them, Nemat tells her story without messages and with no sense of heroism. The quiet, direct narrative moves back and forth from Toronto to Nemat's childhood under the shah's brutal regime and, later, during the terror under Khomeini. Despite the rabid politics and terrifying drama, the most memorable aspect of the story is the portrait of Ali, Nemat's savior, in love with her, so kind to her--Does he kill people when he goes off to work in the prison each day?

Here is the list of books for the next few months. We still need a few discussion leaders. It's not hard...I promise! Let me know if you would like to volunteer.

Play group this week!

Hey Fellow Mamas,

  Sorry I didn't email last week.  I just kind of figured with the holiday and stuff, everyone would be busy!  But we are itching to play this week! 
  It's looking like yucky weather on Friday, unfortunately, so I thought we could just meet at Barnes & Noble and let the kiddies play at the train table and read books (it's a spot my last play group used pretty often).  We can chat--anyone had a Starbucks blended creme (no coffee!)?  Yum, yum!  Hope to see you there at 10:30! 
  Here are the next couple of play groups:
July 16-Toddler time at the Fayetteville Library (10:30 AM-11:30 AM)
July 23-Splash Park in Rogers (10:30 AM)

Thanks, everyone!  Hope to see you this Friday at Barnes & Noble!
