We hope you and your families had a nice break and this message will find you well. We want to kick off this new season with an in-person welcome back party. Please do not forget to RSVP. The LNN board is actively discussing activities for the coming months, and also remains committed to the safety of our members and our community.
As a Board we’ve decided to return in September with safe, socially-distanced activities and continue those while weather permits. We want to let you know that you should receive an email to renew your membership for the 2021-2022 year.
We really hope to see you at this month’s events! Any questions or comments, email us at lncexecs@lexington-newcomers.org or feel free to post ideas/thoughts to the Lexington Neighbors & Newcomers Members Facebook group.
Kindly,
Your Newcomers & Neighbors Board

Book Club
Thursday, September 23 at 7pm
Please join us for a lively discussion of Matt Haig’s New York Times bestseller The Midnight Library.
Somewhere out beyond the edge of the universe there is a library that contains an infinite number of books, each one the story of another reality. One tells the story of your life as it is, along with another book for the other life you could have lived if you had made a different choice at any point in your life.
In The Midnight Library, Nora Seed finds herself faced with this decision. Faced with the possibility of changing her life for a new one, following a different career, undoing old breakups, realizing her dreams of becoming a glaciologist; she must search within herself as she travels through the Midnight Library to decide what is truly fulfilling in life, and what makes it worth living in the first place.
RSVP by September 22 to lexnnbookclub@gmail.com. Please note this is a new email. Once you rsvp, you will receive the address of our in-person meeting the day before the meeting.
