Hi Everyone --
Exciting news and stuff for everyone! I hope everyone is having a great evening and lots planned for the weekend -- it's getting to the end of summer. Of course, doesn't mean we'll have less 100 degree days, ah well.
First, mark your calendars for SUNDAY, October 22nd. The Richardson Friends of the Library and the Richardson Adult Literacy Center (RALC) are sponsoring a readers tea from 2pm to 4pm at the Richardson Hotel (Campbell and 75). The proceeds will go to the RALC, a great cause. And there'll be 25 romance authors as guests of honor. In other words, it's a romance tea for literacy (Buns and Roses).
Tickets are $25 per person or a table of nine for $250 to sit with author of choice. During the reservation we can put in three choices for our author -- the list will be up by September 1st at http://bunsandroses.org. Fresh Fiction is buying a table for DFW Tea Readers Group and we've got six spots left. It would be cool if we could actually get TWO tables, but no pressure. They are also looking for volunteers for the day of the event to help with registration, goodie bags, hostess duties.
If you're interested in a spot let me know, it would be great if we get volunteers and CAN fill TWO tables. All donations are tax deductible (the RALC is a 501c). Since our tea would the weekend before, let's use this as our October tea.
September Tea -- time for the western side
Mindy has offered to hostess a tea at her house on Saturday, September 9th, is that a good location for everyone? If not, is
Katie’s Daughters in Arlington for the 9th better? I need to know who will be able to come to the September tea ASAP and whether you prefer Mindy's house or Katie's Daughters. We need to make reservations ASAP.
September Meeting and Book Signing with Stephen Cannell
On Monday, September 18th, Mr. Cannell will be signing WHITE SISTER at the Barnes and Noble on Northwest Highway (the Nora Roberts signing) and he'd like to meet with our group. His publicist is trying to squeeze us in for a meet-and-greet prior to the signing, which would be really cool. He's a great mystery author as well as Hollywood producer (see previous email). I'm asking if we could do a quick dinner at the Cheesecake Factory (next door to the BN) prior to the signing. I need a possible head count.

September Book Club is Wednesday, September 20th with Karyn Witmer. I have a couple of copies of her book, A SIMPLE GIFT, which is truly a great read, so if you're coming to the tea in September, let me know who'd like it. It is out in paperback next week. We're doing Mexican, Daniel is getting great at the beef and chicken fajitas.

October Book Club is Wednesday, October 19th with Beverly Barton. It's a suspense kind of night and we're taking suggestions for the menu. Barton's latest book, CLOSE ENOUGH TO KILL, came out in paperback in July.

Gwen is in charge our new membership coordinator *grin* So if you meet people at a bookstore, know anyone who loves to read also, or just have some friends you can wrestle into coming, please tell them about our events and bring them! Hopefully having our tea over in the west in September will make it easier on most of the members!
If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to email or call me. I will have more information soon about the Buns and Roses Tea and the website should be up by September 1 at http://bunsandroses.org. Gwen will be in touch about the September Tea.
Have a great weekend!
