2009 Book Club Selections

I am sending this to you before our January meeting so you can check these out and order through Jeannie Ralston's Seed Campaign.  She will donate a percentage of sales through Amazon.com (not just her book) through the month of January to Abrazando Christo.  Please order if possible through her site.  Last year we donated over $1000 to purchase Spanish Bibles for the orphanage.  Queen Laurie has given her time to work  with this mission by traveling there for the past 3 years.  Thank you Laurie for all you do!!
