On Friday, members enjoyed a trolley ride through downtown New Bern. The tour guide was very knowledgeable of the town’s history.
Later, we stopped for a delicious lunch at The Chelsea.

Theta had a great meeting today with 27 members and 2 visitors (Fatima Sail and Linda Curtis) present. We missed those who could not join us. In addition to an informative Business meeting, we enjoyed: collecting teddy bears for Convention project; our first Teacup Raffle; the Induction of two new members, Kristen (Dee) Driesbach and Dr. Sandra Waxman; a fun Founder's Day competition, won by Mary Alice Settle; recognition of Milestone Anniversaries; door prizes; and a delicious catered lunch. Thanks to all who helped make our meeting a success!

Today, 10 of us met for Lunch & Laughter. We enjoyed good food and lively conversation as we learned more about each other. We would love to see even more of you next time! We will skip April to prepare for Convention, so our next L & L will be on May 11 at 11:30, location TBD. Hope to see you there!

Theta's Book Club choice for this meeting was "Fire Girl: Essays on India, America, and The In-Between" by Sayantani Dasgupta, Associate Professor of Creative Writing at UNCW. We were honored to have Prof. Dasgupta meet with us this evening. She shared some of her life journey and graciously answered all of our questions. She said she is very proud of both her countries--India and America. If you have not read this book, we highly recommend it.
