Join the Walden Ladies Association for the first luncheon of

the new LAW year along with some wonderful music from the

fifties and sixties by the talented duo of Josh and Jennifer

Teague

Josh is the minister of Worship Arts at West Conroe Baptist

Church. He and Jennifer grew up in Arkansas where they devel-

oped a love for music. They met each other through the choral

program at Arkansas Tech University. They both received a

Bachelor's degree in

Computer Science. Jennifer later received a Master's degree

in Educational Technology and will be teaching at College Park

High School this fall. Come to the luncheon and enjoy a real musical treat!

From the President- L a d i e s ,

Well, summer

is surely here

and I imagine

we all are find-

ing ways to

enjoy our-

selves, but

survive the heat. I have had

the pleasure of meeting many

new LAW members at water

aerobics which meets at our

beautiful Walden pool on

T u e s d a y s

and Thursday's from 9-10

am through Labor Day.

Dues for the upcoming

year are now due. An official

membership form is in the

Walden Newsletter and our

website, lawalden.org. The

$25 dues can be mailed to

Carol Maak at 3102 Lake Is-

land Drive or paid at our Au-

gust luncheon.

I have also been asked to

explain how much money the

club would save if members

with email would read the

LAW newsletter on their

computers or iPads. A little

bird told me that more of us

are getting techie. Please at

least give it a thought. It

took me a while to "convert".

Also, lovely photos from our

luncheons are in the -e-mail

version.

V ice-President , Pat

Reagan has put together an

outstanding list of diverse

programs for our luncheon

enjoyment. We're in for a

musical treat in August!!!

Hope to see everyone who is

in town for our first luncheon

of the year on Friday, August

7th.

Keep Cool!!

AUGUST 2015

Book Club The next book club meeting will be next Thursday at Margi Biggs’s home, 3427 Country Club

at 2:00. The book we will discuss is One Thousand White Women by Lim Fergus with Pam Stewart lead-

ing the discussion. This is a grabber and it seems impossible that it isn’t 100% true!

Upcoming reads:

August 20--My Life in France by Julia Child

September 24--Dead Wake by Erik Larson

October 22--Go Get a Watchman by Harper Lee

BookShare Thank you to Sandy Rawls for hosting the July meeting and providing such a wonderful snack table.

The group discussed next year’s combined book clubs around the lake (BCAL) luncheon. Sandy Rawls

volunteered to head up the luncheon committee while Sandy Barron will be in charge of communications.

Two of the books reviewed this month were: The Book of Joan, an biography of Joan Rivers and

Inside the O’Briens by Lisa Genova, author of Still Alice. This book centers around a character with

Huntington’s Disease. Barbara Wright will host the next meeting on August 19th at 12315 Thoreau.

Matinee Mamas

On July 13 we had lunch at Akashi Asian Bistro and Sushi Bar where the food, service and atmosphere

was great! After lunch, we went to The Grand 14; half of our group was brave enough to see Magic

Mike XXL; needless to say, no one had any good comments about this movie! The other half saw Self/

less which is described as a drama, mystery and suspense, science fiction & fantasy. The critics hate

this movie but we enjoyed it! There was a lot of action and suspense, never a dull moment! We always

meet on the second Monday of the month. If you want to join us on August 10, please call me at 602-

316-1377. ~~~Diane Burris
