HOLLY HALL BOOK REVIEWS

The Holly Hall Book Review season begins Wednesday, September 29, at 10:30 a.m. at St. Luke's United Methodist Church, 3471 Westheimer. Season tickets for 4 reviews are $25, and individual tickets are $10. Proceeds from the sale of these tickets are used to cover the "cost of care" for those residents who, over time, may no longer afford to do so at this Christian Retirement Community south of the Texas Medical Center.

The first review will be by Rose-Mary Rumley on Everything I Need to Know I Learned From a Children's Book: Life Lessons from Notable People from All Walks of Life by Anita Silvey. The author asked over one hundred admired leaders in our society and learned about the books that shaped financiers, actors, singers, athletes, activists, artists, comic book creator, novelists, illustrators, and teachers.

Additional dates of book reviews will be October 26, January 26, and March 29. Call Sarah Howell at 713-784-2534 for ticket information or other questions. And invite your friends and fellow circle members to go with you!

Get to know other women in our Presbytery and enjoy the beautiful "piney woods" of East Texas by coming to this retreat, beginning with dinner on Friday and ending about 4 p.m. on Saturday. The theme is "Good Habits, Holy Lives," and the featured speaker and worship leader is Rev.

Accommodations are in hotel-style rooms with 1-3 people to a room.

MODERATOR’S MEMOS

"Dog Days of Summer," I now know why they are called that----all you want to do is lie in the shade of a tree and pant!! The saving grace is that Fall is almost here. Fall also means that our Circles and PW activities will begin. Please invite the ladies in your Sunday School classes and those you sit around at church to join you for a Circle meeting. If they just attend one meeting or event, they will be hooked---you are a fantastic group of ladies.

How are your "Random Acts of Kindness" going---I haven't heard from a soul? This month try SMILING AT EVERYONE---a smile is contagious. Every time you smile at someone, it is almost a given that they will smile back. It might change their attitude and made their whole day better!! All because YOU smiled first.
