A Wonderful Month

       This month is very special; we celebrated the Chinese New Year, Chinese style, we are honored to meet Michael who came to visit his family on his vacation, and we have a new member, Otoor, whose English is impressive. The most important thing is everyone did her best to enrich each other's life by reading, writing, speaking, and sharing. I am so proud and honored to witness such progress and be one of the WOW Reading Family members.
       A life without hardship and struggle is black and white. Each encounter is an opportunity to learn more about the self and our fellow human brothers and sisters. Reading, to me, is a sure way to develop and grow the self for words are invention of the human beings and collections of people's wisdom and precious human histories. Writing, on the other hand, serves as a helpful tool and handy means for a person to express the self. Even an error or a mistake, the words a person composes are essence of who she is. So, be brave, and be the best salesperson for self-expression.
       I tried not to modify members' summaries; it's not the purpose of this reading club. Of course, one might find some small mistakes or errors here and there. Those small things are mirrors a person can see and check her own reflection and trains of thoughts. I, myself, did find plenty of errors hidden in my articles. And when I did sense of gratitude and achievement would surface; those mistakes actually are milestones of my growth and steps of development. Don't waste time on finding the errors. Instead, try to find more articles, or books to enrich your life and share with your family members here in the library.
       If you have any idea for us to proceed our tea time or monthly meet please contact me.
I look forward to seeing each and every family member on Wednesdays.
And you are also welcome to stay for the next program, Mah Jongg, held at 2 pm. It's a success.
       Welcome board, Otoor and thanks for everyone's effort and contribution to this budding reading club.
       Lily's summary this month was awesome and her reading aloud skill was good; everyone was engrossed in her story and had a great story time.
       Ruby's story was not finished yet. That means we are going to find out what and how the evil man, Damien Black is going to flick his revenge on the brave boy, Dave and his gecko pet. Let's be patient and wait for the story to come.
