*** Collect Pictures ***
Please help our poor Historian out by giving him your pictures! They can be of official or unofficial events, or even just random meetings. As long as they have some association with our group and/or members. You can email them to Nicholas Procter at coundrumseeker@gmail.com , or bring them in some sort of data transportation device (cd, dvd, flash drive, etc) to him in person on Friday nights or whenever you see him.
Also, in an effort to make things nicer, it would be appreciated if you attached a text file that contains the date of the pictures, name of the event (if applicable), names of the subjects in and place of the pictures, and lastly any high points or memorable moments that come to mind. You do not have to do a picture by picture naming of people, but can instead just have one list of all the people in all pictures. This is in an effort to have a yearbook or some other comprehensive record. This may also be used in events such as banquets where we like to see where we've been and what we've done.
Example:
Folder name (or text file name): Hoe Down Oct. 2007
Attendees (all pictures): Nick Procter, Joe Liu, Daniele Chiu
Place: Fair Oaks
Special notes: Joint meeting of Crossroads and Korean groups

CROSSROADS: The Return of the Book Club!!!
Greetings friends,
The book club (aka reading group) will be giving its second run this fall. After an active summer, the GCCC/Crossroads book club has not read a single book this fall despite two delicious Mexican dinners. However, we can still resurrect this corpse...if there is enough interest.
Since finishing and buying books seemed to be one obstacle to people coming to the reading group, I propose that we read one of the Christian Classics available on www.ccel.org
here are many great classics available here, like St. Augustine's Confessions, The Practice of the Presence of God, John Bunyan's Pilgram's Progress and pretty much all the famous classic Christian books.
I suggest that we read The Imitation of Christ by Thomas A Kempis, a 15th century devotion considered to be second only the the Bible in its spiritual influence in Christianity.
http://www.ccel.org/ccel/kempis/imitation.titlepage.html
With something like this, we could read just one chapter (which are very short) a day.
The vision of book club is to provide a helpful incentive to read regular, spark sharing on insights and discussion, and develop community. Hopefully, our readings will help to enlighten, inspire, and guide us on our paths.
Please e-mail back before Sunday if you are interested in participating in The Return of the Book Club. Please include following information:
1. Whether you can make a meeting this upcoming Monday at 6:00 (perhaps over dinner)
2. If you would like to meet at someone's apartment or at the church or a restaurant
3. Any other ideas about book club
4. If you need a ride
Your humble book reader,
Luke
