[NFBV-Potomac-Announce] October and November Book Club Meetings

[John Halverson]

Hello,

We have a change in our timing for books.

Patty tells me that she is not available to discuss our October book, the Notebook, on the evening of October 4.

Thus we will switch our October and  November  books.

I will discuss Thunder Dog on October  4 and Patty will discuss the Notebook on November 1.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may  cause.
