We are continuing our study of <i>A Nation of Farmers: Defeating the Food Crisis on American Soil</i> by Astyk and Newton. Chapter 4 will be reviewed by Diane. Don’t worry if you haven’t been around for the first part of this book. You can still learn and contribute to the discussion! Kelly will review chapter 5 in October. We are seeking volunteers to review chapters 6-8 which will now happen in Nov-Jan. Please help us keep the Book Group interactive and volunteer to review one chapter of this informative and pertinent book. Also for September, Becky will review the book <i>Plains Apache Ethnobotany</i> by Julia Jordan. This should be a fascinating discussion of traditional collection, preparation, and use of plants for food, medicine, ritual and material culture. Please bring ideas of books you might want to share with the group (or the group may want to read together) and join us Monday 9/13. And, don't forget that, if you want to check out a book from our library, you need to let Diane (<a href="mailto:daperkins@cox.net">daperkins@cox.net</a>) or Astrud (<a href="mailto:Astrudray@aol.com">Astrudray@aol.com</a>) know ASAP so we can get it for you and bring it to the Book Group or General meetings. <o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='color:black;margin-bottom:6.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>September 16 - General Meeting - 7:00 pm - Upstairs above Java Dave’s (soon to be Johnny Carino's Italian), - 10 NE 10th, OKC</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>.
