Season’s Greetings to One and All
Last night the BAD Girls gathered at the Charleston in Broken Arrow to discuss Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol and exchange books. It was a nice evening and if you weren’t there you WERE missed.
We discussed making a few changes with the group for next year. We are going to change the date that we get together. We will no longer be meeting the first Thursday of each month, but instead meeting the third Tuesday so if you’re like me and have BAD Girls as a reoccurring meeting on your calendar on your computer you will need to change it.
However we are going to start in January with an exception to the new day.
January – We’re going to meet on Saturday, Jan 14th for lunch and tea at the Belvidere Mansion in Claremore. We are reading short stories by O’Henry. Find a favorite and share it with the group. Time for lunch will be determined before the date.
Feb – We are meeting on Feb 21st at the Catoosa community center for a pot luck dinner and discussion of favorite romances. We are reading Prince Charming by Julie Garwood. So plan to spend an after Valentine’s Day evening with the BAD Girls.
March – we are meeting March 20th to discuss The End of Molasses Classes by Ron Clark. We will be gathering at Louie’s Bar and Grill on Lynn Lane in Broken Arrow just north of the BA Highway.
Remember if you read something that you simple want to share the title with the rest of us – please do. We all love good recommendations of others.
It’s a "Whale of a Tale" Arts and Crafts Sale and it is almost here!

Man, oh man, have we ever been busy planning our “Whale of a Tale” of an event — it’s gonna be a whopper! One bite at a time, that is how you eat a whale, I keep telling myself. We have been working hard and getting the word out all over town and beyond! I am so excited to see things coming together and getting more excited with each passing day. Our final week brings us to the finishing touches – our banners and signs have been delivered and look great!
We have some exciting artisans and craftspersons that are joining us! Everything from jewelry and quilts to beautiful privacy stained glass, doll clothes and tutu’s for your little darlings and handmade soap and household cleaning products to clean up the aftermath of her Princess Party at the local event planning center! I am truly pleased with the quality of our vendors – too many to list! There will be a Vendor Directory provided. You’ll be able to find your favorite artisans and make note of others you found to add to your list of favorites!
Other fun things to note are that several vendors, as well as local businesses, are donating items to raffle; there will also be a 50/50 pot; and a bake sale of goooooood ole fashion home baked yummy goodness! Something for all ages — even crafts for the kiddos! Concessions will be available.
Hope to see many of you with a friend or three in tow visiting us at the Library and Community Center on Saturday, October 15th. We will be open for business at 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. This is a one day event, so don’t miss out!
Come out and support your local artisans — your library will thank you for it!
