Greetings Borders Book Club,

After years of trying to their book published, my friends Nancy CB and Su Lute
are trying the self-sub route but the hardest part is connecting with readers. I
would appreciate it if you gave them your consideration.

Thank you,
Jessie

Greetings!

My aunt and 10 year old cousin are coming to visit me for two weeks!
What do I do with a kid in Portland? That won't cost me a fortune?
I'm thinking of the zoo and OMSI. Now I'm out of ideas.....

All suggestions are welcomed!
Jessie

Hi Jill,

Was wondering how you were doing since its been a bit since we've seen you.  We all know how those finals go!

Yes, we are all extremely depressed. I passed by borders today and saw the signs, tears came!  Very very upsetting!!!!

I think we're all in agreement that we're not letting the bookclub go.  No way!  We just have to find a spot to have it at. 

I dont know if we will be able to hold the august meeting at borders still.    but i know there's been some rumblings that maybe for the sept scheduled date/time we could do something nice for the employees and maybe throw a little informal "party" for marcie.  Nothing fantastic since they will still be working, but something at least to show Marcie and all the employees how much we love them.  More thoughts on that later.

Hope all is well and you are enjoying school!!!

Subject: [beavertonbordersbookclub] Borders closing

 

Whats happening with borders closing? Is the book group no more, Please say it wont. I knew the borders was going to close but when my dad came down and told me the the store was going to be gone at the end of the month  I just sat and cried. I was going to come again to the aug meeting but now I don't know, please update me on whats happening?

~ Jill Croy

 

I was wondering about the August meeting, myself.  Seeing as liquidation started today, does anyone know how long the store will be open for?  I take it we haven't had any luck finding a new locale?

What sad and shocking news!  Borders Books & Music is a cultural icon, Border's Beaverton is a landmark and Marcy Dodge will always be my bookseller of the year!   Waaaaaaaahhhhh!!! 

I know the group is looking for a permanent place to hold the book club meetings, but in the interim I am offering my home (very large gathering room and even larger deck) for the August meeting, if you can't find a suitable place.  We have loads of chairs and space and I'd be delighted to serve up refreshments.  I have so appreciated your support for me and my romance career and would love a chance to thank you all.

We are located on a lovely wooded lot in the hills north of North Plains, cool breezes and sun-dappled landscape -- 4 miles off the Jackson School exit of Hwy 26.   It's a great place to get away and kick back for an evening of old friends and good books.

Let me know if you're interested and I'll get the ball rolling.

Thanks again for all your support through the years!
Linda Needham

Hi Everyone -

Thank you Linda SOOOO MUCH for offering your house.  That was sweet and very
generous.  Marcy hasnt quite been able to email anybody yet, but I know she was
very touched by the gesture.

I'm sorry this took so long to write out everything.  Up until this morning, it
looked like we werent going to be able to meet at the store, and since Marcy
doesnt get her schedule for work until the week of, we weren't even sure if she
was going to be available for the bookclub. But Marcy just got the greenlight
that they are going to let us meet in August at Borders.  Yeah!!!

For going forward, it looks as if the Beaverton Library has a room that is
available and free for community based groups, more research needs to be done
there, but it is looking positive.  We'll talk more at the August meeting.

One last meeting at Borders, its bittersweet, but I'm excited that we get to
have one last one there.

Hopefully you can all make it, see you there!

Greetings Book Club!

I just spoke with Marcy, who said she sent us an email. In case I'm not the only
one who missed it, our September Book Club will be meeting at Borders but we
need to bring our own chairs.

This month's book is Stefanie Sloane's The Devil in Disquise.

thank you,
Jessie
