AUGUST MEETING AGENDA: Meriah's Birthday Bookclub

Okay ladies,
First I'd like to apologize for my lack of attention these days. I guess you gals have babies and I get divorced (that's my excuse). So I will be more on it now that the storm is clearing and I am back on my game (or trying).

I cannot recall if any of us shelled out dues last time ( I kinda think we did but can someone remind me??) If you paid last time you all (except Meriah) would have paid $10. So we can start fresh this meeting with a $10 dues each if we didnt pay last time or just do $5 and go from there.

I propose that before the meeting starts while the cooking and finalizing is happening that we get the money stuff out of the way before sitting down and getting distracted. What do you think??

CLUB AGENDA:
BOOK: The Lost City of Z
PLACE: Meriah's House
FOOD:
Dessert: Julie & Ali
Main: Meriah
Side: Maren
Salad: Tristana
Beverage: Ali

Hope that helps am I missing anything.

August meeting. The Lost City of Z @ Meriahs house. its her bday too

Sorry guys I thought we were talking and at the time it seemed like everyone wanted to cancel. I apologize for the miscommunication.

I may or may not be there depending on my situation. I will have more facts after tomorrow.

Everyone but Meriah owes $10.. Please remember.

So do I get penalized for not being there when Im moving?? I still may be there but I have no car and its the day before moving so I just need to see how today and tomorrow goes that determines which day I move.
