It chronicles Che’s pre-Cuban revolutionary life by describing his adventures with companion Alberto as they traverse the South American countryside. Next week we’ll start reading Aldous Huxley’s classic “Brave New World!” Interested youth should come to the Key on Monday nights at 7pm for more information! Happy reading
WHO KILLED MR. BODY?!
Was it Colonel Mustard, with the wrench, in the conservatory?
Find out at The Key on Tuesday, July 12th, from 7-10pm, for another special Family Game Night event! Join us for a night of high fashion, sophisticated eats, murder, and the best board game on the market.
Dress as one of the six CLUE characters (Miss Scarlet, Mrs. White, Mrs. Peacock, Mr. Green, Colonel Mustard, or Professor Plum), or just get snazzy and act as a regular person lucky enough to NOT be suspected of murder. Indulge on some gourmet hors d’oeuvres, play the game CLUE, and (if we can get our hands on a copy) watch the 1985 movie classic. So dust off your lead pipes and revolvers and come ready to solve (or commit) the murder of our favorite enigmatic host, Mr. Body!
Thanks to the combine brain power and brilliance of Mairin Emery and Amy Merritt, Family Game Night will be hosting the first ever TETRIS TOURNAMENT.

Book Club is currently reading a delightful book called I Capture the Castle, a coming of age story about an eccentric British family in the 1930’s who live in a ruined castle. So far we’ve had great fun discussing the characters’ romantic prospects, debating whether or not Stephen will lose an arm in a tragic farming accident (Josh Wood says Yes, the rest say No), and whether Simon’s beard is more Elizabethan or lumberjack in nature. Oh, the philosophical debates inspired by great literature! So provocative! So controversial!
Once we’ve finished the book, we will be watching the movie.
Here is a picture of the actor who plays Stephen, a “godlike youth” :
Stay tuned for Book Club’s next pick, and contact Rachel Woldum at woldumr@gmail.com if you would like to join and get a free book!
