Historical Activities: Book Club | “The Pioneers: The Historic Story of the Settlers Who Brought the American Ideal West” by David McCullough

Book Club broke new attendance records, with 19 Dames on Zoom, enjoying the company of fellow bibliophiles and the discussion on our reading selection — The Pioneers by David McCullough.  Current social distancing and self-quarantine practices have perhaps left many of us with some spare time on our hands. What better way to rejuvenate than by delving into a good historical book?

   
Thank you to the following indispensables:  Laurie Ashcraft and Mary O’Hara for leading the book discussion, Claudia Lane for hosting us on Zoom, Nancy Robinson for continuing to be our liaison for this and future book club meetings, and Peggy Snorf for so effortlessly stepping in to facilitate the video conference session.

   
To all who attended, together you helped make history through your participation in our very first Zoom book club:  Laurie Ashcraft, Mamie Case, Diane Gaumer, Marilyn Helmholz, Jane Hotchkiss, Claudia Lane, Ginny McTier, Mary O’Hara, Jean Perkins, Nancy Robinson, Katherine Saville, Cammie Schumacher, Peggy Snorf, Nina Strnad, Kathy Taylor, Liz Thomas, Judith Urban, Polly White and Sonya Wolsey-Paige.   Coupled with a sense of gratitude, one certainly relishes seeing everyone’s faces in these virtual gatherings, affirming everyone is healthy and well!
