PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE:

Thanksgiving has just passed and I hope all of you had a wonderful time with family and friends. First of all, I'd like to thank Sally Kipper for covering for me while I was away in November. I was told we had a good turnout at the November meeting. Many members brought guests. Everyone appreciated speaker Neal Sofman, co-owner of Bookshop West Portal, who shared his knowledge and enthusiasm for the newest books on this year's literary list. Members who purchased books that day received a 20% discount. Big thanks to Sima Talai for organizing the event and for providing the yummy refreshments. Thanks also to Katie Balestreri's for her contribution of her famous cookies!

The Fall Community Service Project led by Ellie Barry and Toni Buckley was a big success. Four barrels completely filled with food were collected for the San Francisco Food Bank. All of us are thankful for our thoughtful Forest Hill community.

The Holiday Season is fast approaching and we have a busy and exciting December ahead of us. Don’t forget to reserve your spaces at the Holiday Dinner Dance. This annual event sold out last year so don’t miss it!
