Following the club’s business meeting, Panola College adjunct professor Chris Watlington presented an interesting presentation about how to present an informative as well as entertaining book report. Following the presentation, members enjoyed delightful refreshments provided by President Copelin at beautifully decorated tables. Both the refreshments and decor reflected this year’s theme for book reports which is Texas Authors. The Center Woman’s Reading organized in 1896 is among the oldest clubs in Shelby County.
