This topic was originally scheduled for July, but our speaker was unavailable for that meeting. There are several exciting new features in this new release so come on out and hear all about it! The Technology Group meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 10:30 am in the Lodge Ballroom. Everyone is welcome. Come join us to stay current on useful technology issues, apps and tools. ~ Howard Lyon Computer Technology The book chosen for our meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 8 at 9:30 am is The Zookeeper's Wife, by Diane Ackerman. Here is a description of the book from Amazon.com: "A true story in which the keepers of the Warsaw Zoo saved hundreds of people from Nazi hands. After their zoo was bombed, Polish zookeepers Jan and Antonina Zabinski managed to save over three hundred people from the Nazis by hiding refugees in the empty animal cages. With animal names for these "guests," and human names for the animals, it's no wonder that the zoo's code name became "The House Under a Crazy Star." Best-selling naturalist and acclaimed storyteller Diane Ackerman combines extensive research and an exuberant writing style to re- create this fascinating, true-life story―sharing Antonina's life as "the zookeeper's wife," while examining the disturbing obsessions at the core of Nazism." If you love books and like lively discussions of them, come join us! Our meetings are on the second Tuesday of the month at 9:30 am in the old conference room. Newcomers are always welcome, even if you haven't read the book. Our book for September is scheduled to be The Poet's Wife, by Rebecca Stonehill. For more information, please contact Doreen Sanders at (951) 769-1913. ~ Micki Rosen Book Club
