The Goals of Camelot Book Club
Camelot Book Club was so named by its charter members because the ladies of El Dorado Bay wanted to celebrate the idea of our neighborhood’s original developer. He had a dream and saw El Dorado Bay as a Camelot -- the perfect kingdom - a place where dreams came alive -- a place where all was well.
The club’s inaugural meeting was in February, 1998. We meet at 1:30 on the third Friday of each month in a member’s home to discuss the current selection. The kinds of books we read are varied, ranging from novels, biographies, historical novels, the classics, - "a little of everything." The hostess facilitates the book discussion. After we review and discuss the book, we stay for dessert and conversation. All of us savor the camaraderie we experience in this group. We always seem to have a wonderful time. In addition to thoughtful dialogues about the current book, a lot of laughing and fun goes on - and none of us ever wants to miss a meeting. If you have an interest in joining us, please contact Anne Simms at asimms@peoplescom.net.
