30 | THE COLONY NEWS | AUGUST 2024 |
In August, we will be discussing Molokai. The novel by Alan Brennert takes you on a touching
and heartfelt ride of varied emotions. It involves the infamous Kalaupapa Leprosy Settlement on
the island of Moloka'i in Hawaii. The historical fiction story features deeply rich characters, and
a portrait of a people who took the worst of times and lived dignified lives a world away from their
families and friends who seemed to have forgotten them.
The Book Readers gather in the Meeting Room on the second Wednesday of each month at 10:30
am, which for August is the 14th. We invite you to join us.
If you want to read ahead, our September book selection is An American Beauty by Shana Abe.
It's a novel inspired by the true story of Arabella Huntington, who became the richest woman in the
country. Enjoy!

Our watercolor class meets on the last Thursday of each
month in the Annex from 9 am to 12:30 pm. Our artists range
from beginners to very experienced. Our main goal in this class
is to have fun. Many of our new artists are taking home artwork
that they are very proud of.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at the
above number. I look forward to seeing you in class. Happy
painting!
