"Sarah's Key" by Tatiana de Rosnay
Synopsis:
Paris, July 1942: Sarah, a ten year old girl is arrested with her family by the French Police in a roundup, but not before she locks her younger brother in a cupboard in the family's apartment, thinking that she will be back within a few hours.
" De Rosnay has captured the insane world of the the Holocaust and the efforts of the few good people who stood up against it in a moving and morally challenging novel."
"The author, a journalist, stumbles onto a trail of long-hidden family secrets that connect her to Sarah."
Please join us the first Thursday.

Addictions in Women-- It's not as rare as one might think.
Women are the fastest growing segment of substance abusers in the US --and that doesn't include other addictions -such as eating disorders, shopaholism etc. Many of these women are 35+and college educated. Dr. Peg Pipchick, a family therapist and addiction expert, will lead us in a discussion of the specifics of these conditions as well as, family patterns, core attributes and impulses, and issues underlying female addiction. Dr. Pipchick is an exciting speaker and we are open to all--bring a friend.

| | These are congenial dinner parties at the home of a member. All are welcome, and we especially encourage new members to come. It's a relaxed way to get to know people better. Please call the host(s) to let them know what dish you will bring. There is a small charge for paper goods. For more information, call Dan Zucker.

| The second Friday night each month, 7 pm in the Stevens Wing

| | Several times each year we gather as a congregation to work to raise additional funds for our Operating Budget. In June, we have a Giant Garage Sale with goods provided by our members. In December, we participate in the Plainfield Neighborhood Churches Fair, selling gifts and other holiday goodies. In February, we hold an auction of services offered by members: meals, tours, home repairs, works of art, singing telegrams, just about anything. Contact Julie Walsh or Melissa Logan.
