BOOK CLUB HAPPENINGS—JANUARY 25, 2021

After a "month off" of assigned reading, we're back at it!

January's book is Educated by Tara Westover, It's a fascinating biography of her childhood in a survivalist family in the Idaho mountains.  She didn't attend school until she was 17, but managed to teach herself enough math, grammar and science to get admitted to college.  Her quest for knowledge transformed her and allowed her to travel the world.

Our meeting is scheduled for Monday, January 25.  Location TBD--it might be 100% virtual, through ZOOM.

February's book is Behold the Dreamers by Imbolo Mbue (this is a library Book Club kit, and copies will be distributed in January)

Guests are always welcome.  Everyone is requested to register on CSOC website if they plan to attend.

Hello All Coastal Ski & Outing Club Members,

 The Holiday season has come and gone in a blink of an eye and we once again start off a new year with fresh hopes for health, happiness and prosperity.  Hopefully the Ski Club will get back on track with activities once the rate of virus infection slows down.  As I previously communicated to you all we will take the month of January off from activities.  But at the end of the month there will be the Polar Plunge event for the Special Olympics on January 30^th   It will be different this year with an option to do it virtually.  More details to come on the event as the month progresses but you can go on facebook events to find out more.  The Book Club will meet on Jan 25^th location TBD.

My thoughts right now are to kick off February with a Super Bowl party at a local tavern followed by a meeting/ Valentine Party on Feb 10^th.  Then we will have a least 1 team in the Optimist’s Top Golf Tournament on Feb 13^th.

As you go through the chilly days of January, I hope you can find some healthful activities which will bring happiness into your lives. 

Now we need your help to get things rolling for 2021.  Send in your ideas and/or offer to volunteer or to organize a month of activities. Come to a board meeting to join in the planning or reach out to our VP in charge of Activities Gene Young.  It definitely takes a village to run this club and we have a fine community at that!  We would love to hear your ideas and value your input.

That’s about it for now.

Elena Moglia, CSOC President
