December 2 - "Golden Books" presented by Holly Everson (Meeting at Turner Hall)
Holly Everson has collecting Golden Books since 1986. She began buying children books at secondhand stores and garage sales because her daughter announced that she was expecting their first grandchild. She noticed the sparkling bindings of the golden books and wondered how many different ones there would be. They were numbered and she thought that it would be relatively simple to look for one of all the numbers. And that was the beginning of her golden book collection.
Reservations are required by November 15 for this meeting. The cost of the meal is $20 and must be prepaid. You may attend the meeting without reservation but the meal is not included.
