2. books... i changed my mind. you're not going to buy them. at least not from me. not unless you want to. so when you're done reading the book, please return it to me or miss helen so we can let someone else read it. and, that way, when we're all done, i can trade in our entire set at copperfield's and use the credit toward our next book! =) sound good? gr8! so, the two of you who already paid me, come see me to get your cash back. you know who you are! =)

3. donations... i've added a wish list page to our website so if you know people who want to help us, they can, and now they'll know what we need and how to get it to us. please have them contact me for more info. thank you! =)

4. next meeting... next thursday october 30th... the day before halloween... at lunch in the library... in our office... i'll try to remember to make you passes to get out of class a little early. but i'm new and so i'm not sure if this is kosher at casa yet. anyway, thursday is an a day, so it would really help me & miss helen if you please tell me or email me your full name, what teacher you have 2nd period, and what the room # is. thank you! =)

Since times are tough and money is tight, the Big House Book Club is officially begging for spare change. But fear not, dear readers, we won't go belly up. This book club will go on no matter how little money we can scrounge up, but every little bit of help helps. So, if you know of people who are independently wealthy and philanthropically-minded, please subtly and suavely inform them of our new Wish List page and encourage them to donate generously. Every bit of help helps! =)
