The regular monthly meeting of the Hustonville Book Club was held on Wednesday, June 4 at the home of Bettye Long in Stanford. There were thirteen members present. As hostess, Bettye presented a devotion "Distant Relatives," from Matters of the Heart, on how we sometimes don't pay enough attention to some people. The program, a report on an article from the December 2007 issue of Guidepost, also given by the hostess, introduced club members to one of the club's favored authors, Mary Higgins Clark.

On a golden summer evening under the picnic shelter at Ruritan Park, the Hustonville Book Club met July 10 with seven members present: Elsie Butcher, Bettye Long, Doris Peyton, Patricia Smith, Kay Watson, Linda Chadwell, Betty McCall and myself.. Kay proudly wore red, white and blue to promote July as our month of independence. She recited parts of the Preamble to the United States Constitution and the Gettysburg Address and then led the group in prayer. Patricia said the treasurer's report was not available that evening but would be unchanged.
