 * 2011 PLANNING MEETING AT JOYCE'S HOUSE SATURDAY APRIL 16, 2011- 10:00 A.M. **

I will attend. Do you guys have Turkey Hill iced tea in your area? I can either bring that or chicken salad. **Tricia** I'll be there, and I'll bring cream cheese and other spreads for the bagels. Michelle Hi, Guys. I know I'll see some of you tomorrow, but I have have some sad news to share. I received a letter today informing me that my position is being cut. Fortunately for me personally, I am retiring, but it is a tragedy, nevertheless. How are you all faring? **Tricia**
 * I am looking forward to being there and will bring fruit. Erika**
 * I will come with quiche! :-) Mary S.**
 * I will be there and I will bring something sweet to eat. - Jill**
 * Can't wait! I will be bringing a big salad with a few dressings. -Jenni**
 * I can bring bagels, will two dozen** be enough? Sandy K.

Tricia, I am so sorry. We'll all talk tomorrow. Thank you all for your generous spirit! I'll have coffee and shop for something else not covered. Looking forward to seeing you all! And hugging Tricia. (joyce)


 * 2010 Theme Brainstorm2010 Theme BrainstormLet's shake things up a little this year. Thanks to everyone for started the lists!**


 * When you decide on the fiction you will be reading, I would like everyone to send me a PPT slide with covers of the books. (Jason will be bringing a projector.) If possible, create a link on the slide to a trailer, if you find one.**


 * Also, let's limit the fiction this year to the very best. We never have time to focus on nonfiction or reference. I am thinking also of an Animoto of the top ref and nonfiction. What do you think?**


 * Theme anyone????**


 * joyce **

I just posted booklists on the review page so we can see if we miss any critical titles! (joyce)

I love this idea, and you're correct - it will shake things up a bit and add something new and fresh. I put some theme ideas on the Brainstorm page, but your idea lends itself to a more original theme. I'll keep thinking. **Tricia**

Thanks for posting the list. One of my boxes of books got lost in the mail, so I've been worried that some top books won't get reviewed.
 * Tricia**

I would be happy to read pick up a few books on the top YA list if no one else has them. As I mentioned, one of my packages never arrived, and I only have a few that are truly stellar. Is anyone reading any of the following: (Nonfiction)//Charles and Emma, Chasing Lincoln's Killer, Claudette Colvin// or (Fiction) //A Brief History of Montmaray, Crossing Stones, Solace of the Road ?// I definitely don't want to step on anyone's toes, so if anyone does have them, that's great; however, if anyone knows of any top books that are NOT being covered, I will gladly read one or more. **Tricia**


 * I will be glad to send the cover for //Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side//. I am assuming someone else is doing //Catching Fire//. I am still reading. The non-fiction I got was great, but not much fiction, and Jessica is the best of what i have read.**


 * Pat**

NOTE: I copied this info over to the 2010 Theme Brainstorm page so that all would find it! :-) (Mary S) Thanks Mary! (BJ Neary)
