The American Women's Club will re-open after a summer break, on August 16th. Activities will officially start in September, but now's a great time to stop in and pick up a new book from the library or come update members about what you did over the summer.

If you've e-mailed the club and haven't heard back from us, don't worry! We'll be checking and responding to e-mails all this week. Also you can call the club starting on the 16th and speak directly to a member.

Hope everyone had/is having a wonderful summer.
