27 attend Cultura meeting
Cultura Book Club was entertained at the October meeting by Emma Burkett, reading consultant and retired supervisor in the Ouachita Parish School System.
Burkett kept her listeners laughing with a review of "Suck Your Stomach in and Put Some Color On," by Shellie Rushing Tomlinson. Tomlinson is a radio and television personality whose Web site is "All Things Southern." The book's subtitle explains that the book is about "What Southern Mamas Tell Their Daughters that the Rest of Y'all Should Know, Too."
Whatever "Mama" said was the law and became a guide to life, according to Tomlinson. Maxims such as "You'll understand when you have kids of your own" and "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" resonated with the club members, who agreed that their own mothers had many such sayings and that they themselves had used them many times.
The meeting, attended by 27 members, was held at the Appletree Cafe in West Monroe, with Clara Sikes, Susie Sikes and Hattie Watson serving as hostesses.
Sue Drewett, president, conducted the business session, which began with Clara Sikes' reading of the poem, "Judge Not."
Pat Funderburk was appointed to chair a committee on memorials. Also, two service projects were begun by 1) collecting money for fighting cancer and 2) distributing information for filling shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child. Filled shoeboxes were to be brought to the Nov. 3 meeting. |
