Join a Book Club this Fall!

The Gold River Literacy Society hosts a monthly Book Club. We borrow book club sets from the library, read the books and get together to talk about what we’ve read.

Our current book is “Water for Elephants” by Sara Gruen. It was recently released as a motion picture and has been described as “a highly enjoyable, well-researched, somewhat romantic read that brings to life the era of the traveling circus and small town America during the Depression.” Check out http://www.bookbrowse.com/reviews/index.cfm?book_number=1826 for more reviews.

If you’d like to join us, stop by the GRLS Resource Centre, 121-396 Nimpkish Drive, on a Monday-Thursday morning or call 1-866-725-4790 to arrange to get a copy.

Cub Leader Desperately Needed

via Maxine McLean

I have recently been approached by an adult who is willing to be a Cub leader, however, two leaders are needed to run a section.  In the past there have been kids interested who I had to disappoint as there was no one willing to volunteer as leaders.

Currently only one more adult is needed and we could make this great group happen again for kids here in Gold River.

If you are interested, please contact Maxine at scoutcentral@cablerocket.com
