We recently received a message from Adam and Tara, the cyclists who stayed over in Pangman on August 6th and attended our Community Barbeque.

They wrote “Hi everyone! Adam, Shasta, and I would like to, once again, thank the community of Pangman for their hospitality.”

In May and June we read  World Without End by Ken Follett.  Everyone enjoyed this book.

This story takes place in fourteenth century England in Kingsbridge. The story revolves around four children who witnessed a killing when they were in the forest. Follett tells the story of the four children to adult hood and their relationships with each other. Near the end of the book Follet reveals the secret that the man was killed for.

If you enjoyed reading The Pillars of the Earth you will enjoy this book.

During July and August we are each reading our own selections. Our next meeting is Wednesday, August 11, 2010 at 7:00 p.m. at the Library.

New members are always welcome.

Yesterday, August 9th, 2010, they began digging the ground for the new Water Treatment Plant.  The digging continued on today (August 10th), even though it rained yesterday.

In about 2 weeks or so, building should begin on the Water Treatment Plant.  Check back for updates!
