David Copperfield Movie

January Book Group Details

Thursday January 20, 2011 from 4:00 to 8:00pm
David Copperfield
Dinner and a Movie!
Potluck - we need sweet and savory items
RSVP to Chris Woods

This month we are trying something a little different. The library recently acquired a license for showing movies and we thought it would be fun to mix it up a little and sometimes show a movie version of a classic book we are reading. So, this month we will be watching "David Copperfield" on Thursday,January 20, from 4-8. (It's a long movie!) What's a movie without dinner, so we are encouraging members to bring a hearty horsd'oevre that doesn't require heating up or a lot of cutlery. Examples might be bite size quiches, spinach pies, cheese/crackers, crudites, little meatballs, salad rolls, etc. We will also need somesweet items or fruit for dessert. Please RSVP if you are going and what you are bringing.
