Your Costco Membership Information

Hey, about the weekend plans you asked about. I was thinking we could finally check out that new trail by the reservoir, the one that loops around the north side. I heard it's pretty well-marked and not too strenuous, which would be perfect. We should pack a lunch, maybe those sandwiches from the place downtown, and leave by mid-morning to avoid the afternoon heat. Don't forget to bring a hat and enough water, it's supposed to be quite sunny. If we finish early, we could always head to the botanical gardens on the way back, they have that new sculpture exhibit I mentioned. Let me know if you need a ride or if you're planning to drive. I can bring a blanket to sit on if we decide to stop for a bit. Also, remind me to grab my camera from the trunk before we go, I keep forgetting it's in there. Does that sound good to you, or did you have something else in mind?

I was also looking at the schedule for the community center, they have a pottery class starting next month that meets on Tuesday evenings. I know you were interested in trying something like that. The instructor is supposed to be really good with beginners. We could sign up together if you're free those nights. It's a six-week session. I need to check if they provide the materials or if we have to bring our own. I'll call them tomorrow to get the details and then we can decide. It might be a fun way to spend the evenings.

Thank you for being a valued Costco member. For assistance, please visit a warehouse or contact Member Services.

So you wanted my thoughts on the book club selection for next month. I've read the first few chapters and it's definitely drawing me in, though the pacing is a bit slower than I expected. The main character's motivations are still a little unclear, but I think that's intentional. I'd be curious to discuss the historical context it's set in, as I'm not super familiar with that period. Maybe we could find a short documentary to watch before the meeting?

Regarding the meeting itself, my place should work if everyone is okay with that. I can make some of those lemon cookies everyone liked last time. Should we aim for the usual third Thursday? Let me know if that date works for the group. I'll send a message around to check. Also, did we decide if we're doing a potluck style for snacks or just keeping it simple with drinks? I'm happy to coordinate either way. The weather should be nice, so we could even sit out on the patio if people want. I'll need to double-check that I have enough chairs. Oh, and remind me to return the book I borrowed from Sarah, I think she'll be there.
