Saturday, Sept. 13 - Clyde Edgerton book reading of Lunch at the Piccadilly at McIntyre's Bookstore (11:00am) In his eighth deliciously funny novel, Lunch at the Piccadilly, Clyde Edgerton introduces us to the irrepressible Lil Olive, who's recently arrived at the Rosehaven Convalescence Center to recuperate from a bad fall. Lil longs to be back in her own apartment, and since her driver's license doesn't expire until her ninety-seventh birthday; she also longs to get back behind the wheel of her sporty '89 Olds. Keeping a watchful eye over Lil is Carl, Lil's middle-aged bachelor nephew with a heart of gold and the patience of a saint. To pass time until independence, Lil strikes up some new friendships, and with her new girlfriends, steals a car and hits the highway. Thus begins a funny adventure, one that will have you both laughing and crying all at the same time. Clyde Edgerton is the author of seven previous novels, including bestsellers Raney and Walking Across Egypt. Five of his novels have been New York Times Notables. An accomplished musician, he performs around the country with his band, Rick Strangers. He is a professor of creative writing at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. |

RE-SCHEDULED!
Holly Tree Meeting, moved to NEXT Monday, August 18!
Reggie
is a very handsome fellow with those classic, commanding Rottweiler
looks, except for his long tail. His people will be the very center
of his existence and he'll show you with wiggles and snorts of glee.
Reggie is very gentle and would just as soon sit in your lap. He gets
along well with other dogs, although he would probably do well as an "only" dog,
too. Reggie is a quick study and is taking to basic obedience training
like a fish to water. He will be a dedicated and loyal friend. Reggie
is neutered, vaccinated, and dewormed. To adopt Reggie, contact C.A.R.E.
at www.chathamanimalrescue.org or call 542-5757.
This kitten has a stunning, sleek and silky blue-gray coat overlaying
the faintest of tabby stripes. She is absolutely striking! Silva
is just a bit shy, but she should come around nicely with further
affection and contact with people. Time is running out! To meet Silva,
visit the Chatham County Animal Shelter on Landfill Rd. off 64 west.
Open Mon.-Fri., 9 am-4 pm, and Sat. 10 am-2pm. For more information,
call 542-7203.
