THE CHARBONNEAU VILLAGER 21 October 2019 Charbonneau Book Club By DOROTHY HOCHHALTER Hunker down and read a good mystery novel Everyone loves a good mystery and John Gisham comes through with the perfect one for a book club HOCHHALTER to enjoy. Please join us Oct. 8 when we discuss “Camino Island.” He spins a light-hearted tale about the stealing of some priceless rare books from the Princeton Library. Bruce Cable runs a successful book store in a quiet resort town that is a hangout for a group of authors. He also dab- bles in collecting rare books. Mer- cer Masnn, an aspiring author with writers block, no job and a big school loan to repay is approached by a mysterious woman who offers her a nice pay-off to keep watch on Cable’s activities. So she returns Homeowner’s Association Q From Page 20 your summer clothing. But some transitions deserve an event to help you move on to the next step. On Sept. 6 just such an event was held for CHOA’s State Farm Insur- ance agent, Jay Puppo. We celebrat- ed 30 years that Jay has been serv- ing Charbonneau, with wine, cheese and ice cream. What a fun time eat- ing Jr. Scoop Ice cream with names like S’mores, Dirt and Ooey Gooey. I was so impressed with Jr. Scoop ice cream company. Jr. Scoop is an en- trepreneurial group of middle school to her childhood home and the fun begins. She makes friends with the unusual, kooky group of writ- ers and Cable. This is not the typi- cal Grisham novel, but he is a great storyteller so I think you will enjoy it. Our second book for the month is based on the true story of the Kure family from 1939 to 1947. Georgia Hunter learned at 15 that she came from a family of Ho- locaust survivors and she spent years of research before writing “We Were the Lucky Ones.” The Kure fmily had a good life in Po- land but the German invasion is going to change that. As the war progresses they are split up amd lose touch with one another. Some in a Siberian gulag, some walked over the Alps to Iraly, and others to Brazil and the United States. It is hard to believe that this story has a happy ending with the entire family finally meeting in Brazil. Since then most have moved to the United States. This is a remark- able story of love, luck and hope. I am looking forward to our discus- sion on Oct. 22 when we gather at the Charbonneau Country Club from 1-2:30 p.m. I can be reached at [email protected]. students based in Wilsonville. These students are learning about the busi- ness world by making their own ice cream and serving it at community functions. I believe these students will transi- tion into adult life with knowledge not just about business, but about how to serve and honor a variety of ages and cultures. These middle schoolers were interacting with ages from 40- to 90-years-old and I think a good time was had by all. Events and transitions are best remembered with a celebration. Whether the event is for 30 years of service, or a retirement, a wedding or the changing of the season, let’s move into the next setting with a party. Happy fall everyone!! Don’t just let the seasons change, cele- brate the change! CHARBONNEAU VI LL AG ER VOL. 42, NO. 2 Q FEBRUARY Q CHARBONNEA U, OREGON PRSRT. STD.
