Good morning / afternoon / evening Bookworms,
I hope that all of you have had a sensational summer the past 4 months whether you have been taking classes to get ahead, working, traveling, or just enjoying yourself as you should.
I wanted to take the opportunity to welcome you all back for the new school year. It's my last one at uOttawa so it's a little bittersweet, but I'm really looking forward to having another year of great book discussions with all of you.
First off, please let me know if you have graduated or did not sign up to be on our mailing list yet somehow get emails from us... these things happen and I just want to make sure that nobody's inboxes are being clogged needlessly. Also let me know if you have a friend who would like to join & start receiving emails from us about upcoming meetings and all that!
Clubs Week happens the second week of September and gives clubs across campus the chance to reach out to the new and current student population to give them options to get involved in something they have an interest in. As President of the Bookworms, a campus museum volunteer, and a VP for 2 other student groups, I can assure you that getting involved on campus is the BEST thing you can do to enrich your student experience! Stella, Ashley, Hannah and I will be taking part in Clubs Week so stop by and say hi at our table if you have time, we'd love to see you.
Our first meeting will probably be towards the end of September... I'm thinking the 4th but likely 5th week of the month. I'll set up the usual poll for times and what not, so no worries there. Remember the summer challenge of reading a book outside your usual genre comfort zone? We'll be discussing our different adventures in summer reading and ideas for monthly genres at the September meeting. In the meantime, have a safe 101 week and hopefully the transition into student life isn't too rough on you all ;)
Cheers,
Madeline (but please call me Maddie if you want)
ps. I have bought some news teas for all of you to try, so get excited to be converted into loving tea if you don't already!
