October 21, 2015 - The first meeting of the Center Woman's Reading Club 2015-2016 year was held on September 17, 2015 at the John C. Rogers Coffee Shop. Colleen Doggett was the hostess and program leader. President Janene Walker presided. The Club welcomed guest, Carole Rogers. A short business meeting was conducted.
This year’s course of study is “Famous Women". Colleen Doggett presented a very interesting program on Agatha Christie — Queen of Mystery. Agatha Christie was quoted as saying “One of the luckiest thing that can happen to you is to have a happy childhood". Agatha was an only child. She loved to dance and was a trained concert pianist, but was too shy to perform in public. After a car accident that left her temporarily without her memory, she began to write. While riding on the Orient Express to Baghdad, Agatha met Max Mallowan whom she eventually married. They lived in England and in the Middle East. Agatha Christie wrote, on average, 2-3 books each year. The opening night of the movie “Murder on the Orient Express” was her last public appearance. She died in 1976.
In keeping with the Fall Season, apple cake and apple punch was served. Members enjoyed visiting and catching up on news.
