Exploring, Growing Together Discussion Forum will meet on Thursday, Nov. 12, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. Attendees should note that the date is a departure from the usual schedule. The gathering will take place in the boardroom at the Lititz Public Library, 651 Kissel Hill Road, Lititz.

Led by Ann Van Hine, the group will discuss "A Christmas Memory" by Truman Capote. Selected from across Capote's writing life, the Christmas stories range from nostalgic, semi-autobiographical portraits of childhood to more unsettling tales of darkness beneath the festive glitter.

People do not need to have read the book to attend. They may bring a lunch to eat during the discussion.

The forum discussion series aims to offer a safe learning environment in which to discuss and explore diverse topics and beliefs with respect to everyone sharing. Those who plan to attend should contact Linda at 717-626-0745 or raven303@ptd.net. Those who have questions or suggestions, or who want to obtain a new series schedule, should also contact Linda.
