| Hello Delco RRC | |
" Remember that what you believe will depend very much on what you are."
With this quote in mind: The most important thing is to believe in yourself. Dreams are good but its like cream on top of your coffee, mix it up and it disappears. Wake up to your full potential. Don't let yourself be tied up in what others believe you can do. Act on what you believe you can do. Come out today to one of our Fun Runs and believe in yourself. |

| Book Club |
Note: This is a change from our normal Sunday meeting.
Next meeting will be held Saturday May 15th, 2pm at Dot Kracht's home. Email Dot at this email address.
The next book is The Magician's Assistant by Ann Patchett. 357 pages, 1998.
The Magician's Assistant sustains author Ann Patchett's proven penchant for crafting colorful characters and marrying the ordinary with the fantastic. When Parsifal, Sabine's husband of more than 20 years and the magician of the title, suddenly dies, she begins to discover how she's glimpsed him only through smoke and mirrors. He has managed to keep hidden the existence of a family in Nebraska--his mother, two sisters, and two nephews. Sabine approaches them hungrily, as if they are a bridge to her beloved husband and a key to the mysteries he left behind.
All Club members are welcome to join us. Email me at info@delcorrc.com if you have any questions. |
