ANNOUNCEMENT AND UPDATES

I am pleased and extremely excited to announce that we have chosen a book for our 2nd Annual Choose Civility Book Club. This year we will be reading The Liberation of Gabriel King by K.L. Going. Please visit http://www.kidsreads.com/reviews/039923991X.asp to read a synopsis of this book. I read this book over the past week of snow days and I have to say that people of all ages will enjoy this book and apply the lessons to their daily lives. You will not be disappointed.

****PLEASE NOTE: Due to weather related delays, we have changed the kickoff meeting from 2/19/10 to February 26, 2010 from 8:40am- 9:10am. I look forward to seeing everyone soon.
