One idea would be to watch the entire miniseries at a special media day held at the clubhouse. Another possibility is to break this up into two viewing sessions; either way, an open discussion group about the miniseries after viewing would be most welcome, if people are interested. <u class=""></u><u class=""></u></span></font></p></div><div id="m_57743736075969910m_-9145341119809547033yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1489938166658_4845" class=""><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><font size="3" face="Verdana" class=""><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"" class=""><u class=""></u> <u class=""></u></span></font></p></div><div class=""><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><font size="3" face="Verdana" class=""><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"" class="">So, pass on your your book suggestions and we'll choose something to read. <u class=""></u><u class=""></u></span></font></p></div><div class=""><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><font size="3" face="Verdana" class=""><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"" class=""><u class=""></u> <u class=""></u></span></font></p></div><div class=""><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><font size="3" face="Verdana" class=""><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"" class="">Best wishes,<u class=""></u><u class=""></u></span></font></p></div><div id="m_57743736075969910m_-9145341119809547033yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1489938166658_4853" class=""><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><font size="3" face="Verdana" class=""><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"" class=""><u class=""></u> <u class=""></u></span></font></p></div><div class=""><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><font size="3" face="Verdana" class=""><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"" class="">Michael S. <u class=""></u><u class=""></u></span></font></p></div><div id="m_57743736075969910m_-9145341119809547033yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1489938166658_3120" class=""><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><font size="3" face="Verdana" class=""><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"" class=""><u class=""></u> <u class=""></u></span></font></p></div><div id="m_57743736075969910m_-9145341119809547033yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1489938166658_3121" class=""><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><font size="3" face="Verdana" class=""><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"" class=""><u class=""></u> <u class=""></u></span></font></p></div></div></div></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" class=""><span style="font-size:12.0pt" class="">______________________________<wbr class="">_________________<br class="">reading-group mailing list<br class=""><a href="mailto:reading-group@lists.nesfa.org" target="_blank" class="">reading-group@lists.nesfa.org</a><br class=""><a href="http://listsmgt.nesfa.org/mailman/listinfo/reading-group" target="_blank" class="">http://listsmgt.nesfa.org/<wbr class="">mailman/listinfo/reading-group</a><u class=""></u><u class=""></u></span></font></p></div></blockquote></div><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" class=""><span style="font-size:12.0pt" class=""><u class=""></u> <u class=""></u></span></font></p></div></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" class=""><span style="font-size:12.0pt" class=""><br class="">______________________________<wbr class="">_________________<br class="">reading-group mailing list<br class=""><a href="mailto:reading-group@lists.nesfa.org" target="_blank" class="">reading-group@lists.nesfa.org</a><br class=""><a href="http://listsmgt.nesfa.org/mailman/listinfo/reading-group" target="_blank" class="">http://listsmgt.nesfa.org/<wbr class="">mailman/listinfo/reading-group</a><u class=""></u><u class=""></u></span></font></p></div><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" class=""><span style="font-size:12.0pt" class=""><u class=""></u> <u class=""></u></span></font></p></div></div></div></div></div><br class="">______________________________<wbr class="">_________________<br class="">
