The Pangman Book Club was started in November of 2008 by a few ladies who love to read. We had our first meeting in November were we selected our first book club selection, Kitchen God’s Wife by Amy Tan. Currently we have eight members and we meet at the Library the 2nd Wednesday of the month at 7:00 p.m. After we discuss the book we have read, we have coffee, tea and goodies.
Our last meeting was on October 14th were we discussed our September book club selection, A Lesson Before Dying by Ernest J. Gaines. We had a lively discussion about this book and almost everyone agreed that this was a very moving and sad story.
If you have not read this book it is about Jefferson, a young black man who is convicted of murder and sentenced to death. His grandmother asks the school teacher, Grant to visit Jefferson at the prison to help him to become a man prior to his death. Grant struggles with this request, but he goes to the prison to visit Jefferson and over time he gets through to Jefferson.
Our next meeting will be at the Library on Wednesday, November 11th at 7:00 p.m.
Upcoming books we will be reading:
If you love to read and would be interested in joining the book club feel free to come to our next meeting or call Debra at 442-2055 for more information.

On May 28th, Pangman area farmers began seeding another crop for the Pangman Charity Farm project – a half section of land dedicated to raising money for Pangman School. You can read the entire article which appeared in the Deep South Star.
Harvest Day arrived on Sunday, September 12th and what a beautiful day it was. The weather was perfect, the crop was ready and men and machinery moved into the field, ready to combine and get the grain into the bins. Volunteers and machinery gathered in the yard of Ken and Joyce Kaufmann around 10 a.m. ready to go to work. You can read the entire article which appeared in the Deep South Star.
The Pangman Charity Farms project wishes to express their appreciation to everyone who helped out with the project. Thanks to Ken and Joyce Kaufmann for the morning lunch, and use of their yard for the day. Special thanks to all who took the time from their own fields to provide machinery and help to harvest the crop. Thank you to the following for their contributions towards this project: Richardson Pioneer, E. Bourassa & Sons, Pangman Co-Op, Grainbelt Agencies, R.M. of Norton, Radius Credit Union, Ceylon Pulses, Weyburn Inland Terminal, Municipal Hail, Morris Industries and Bayer Crop Science and Weyburn Kentucky Fried Chicken. Without your help this project would not have been possible.
