Hawthorn Adventure (Continued) Claire Bob Chickie Georgia Book Club The Book Club meets once a month. At each meeting, we choose a book to read the following month. The choices are diverse. You will have an opportunity to read and discuss topics that you might otherwise pass over. Many people choose not to join for fear that they might not finish reading a book on time, or they might not want to read a certain book. No worries ... come for the discussion anyway. If you’d like to join the Book Club, please sign up in the Activity Room. Board Games We recently purchased many board games, including Scrabble, Monopoly, Clue, Boggle, Yahtzee, Rummikub, Trivial Pursuit and more. They are located in the Billiards Room on the 2nd floor. Feel free to borrow them. It’s a fun way to get to know people, and something fun to do in the evening and on the weekends. Exercise Class We have great participation in our morning exercise class, but we are always looking for more people to join us. We listen to upbeat music while we move. It’s a great way to have fun while doing something good for yourself. We meet at 10:30 a.m. Give it a try (or come and watch)!
