2022-2023 Reading and Entertainment Season News
Hello MIYC Members! I hope you are having a wonderful summer respite and have set aside time to enjoy your ‘Summer Reads.’ I’m taking this opportunity to share some exciting news in preparation for our 2022-2023 Reading and Entertainment Season. I have been receiving requests for an expanded monthly Book Club and Movie Matinee offerings. Our current Book Club will continue featuring Classics and contemporary novels and meet on the LAST Thursday of the Month, January – May. We hope that if we can hire enough staff, we will be able to add a new Book Club, which will feature non-fiction and historical novels and meet on the SECOND Thursday each month. I want to ask for your input on books for discussion. I am also requesting that you, as Members and participants, volunteer to be the presenter for the book(s) you suggest for discussion. These books will get top priority for selection. For the non-claimed book suggestions, we will vote to determine the list and find a presenter. I will work with you to create the PowerPoint presentation and run the ‘Show!’ And for some more great news - Past Commodore Jeff Comeaux has volunteered to coordinate a new Matinee Movie Group, staff and calendar permitting! We will need to determine a day and time for the Monthly Movies. We have these suggestions - a luncheon presentation, a before-dinner matinee, or maybe even a Sunday afternoon. We plan on using a similar structure for the presentation – a before-movie explanation of the plot, characters, cinematography, and twists for which to watch. And a post-viewing discussion. We need to reserve our time for this on our MIYC calendar ASAP. This is your Book Club and Movie Matinee experience, and I am requesting your input to assist in structuring and scheduling these events. We have scheduled a planning session for December 8 at noon, and I hope you’ll plan on attending. We are looking forward to an interesting, informative, and fun Book and Movie experience this Season! Thank you! M A Harlacker
