Everyone is enjoying "Life of Pi" and looking forward to browsing Carrie's newly planted garden Sunday at 3pm. The wine for this session is "chardonnay."

Carrie sends these notes on changes in schedule:

At May's meeting the gang decided not to meet in September due to the Labor Day holiday. See below for updated schedule because of this change. This Sunday's meeting is at my house at 3 pm in Peters Creek with Daisy leading the discussion. 24036 Delilah Circle, Chugiak, 688-3161

How to get there: Head north on the Glenn Highway through Eagle River Take the North Peters Creek exit, approximately milepost 21.5 (this will be the second Peters Creek exit) At the top of the exit turn left and head back over the overpass Turn left at the first stop sign onto the Old Glenn Highway Turn right at the first street onto Sampson Drive Turn right at the first street at the top of the little hill onto Delilah Circle Second house on the right, two-story, honey-brown, plenty of parking in the driveway or on the street Head around to the left and you'll find the front door at the back of the house, curious architectural detail. or head up the stairs to the kitchen.

Carrie adds this correction to the directions:
Greetings again. On my way home tonight I realized that my driving instructions were about a mile off. You should be watching for the North Peters Creek exit, the second Peters Creek exit if coming from the south, which is past the 22 milepost. Hope to see you Sunday at 3. Carrie
