Books R Us Books R Us will meet on Thursday, June 22nd, at 10:00 a.m. This month’s book is Lone Wolf by Jodi Picoult. In the wild, when a wolf knows its time is over, and it is of no more use to its pack, it may sometimes choose to slip away. Dying apart from its family, it stays proud and true to its nature. Humans aren’t so lucky. Luke Warren has spent his life researching wolves. He has written about them, studied their habits intensively, and even lived with them for extended periods of time. In many ways, Luke understands wolf dynamics better than those of his own family. His wife, Georgie, has left him. His son, Edward, twenty-four, fled six years ago, leaving behind a shattered relationship with his father. Edward understands that some things cannot be fixed, though memories of his domineering father still inflict pain. Then comes a frantic phone call: Luke has been gravely injured in a car accident with Edward’s younger sister, Cara. Suddenly everything changes: Edward must return home to face the father he walked out on at age eighteen. He and Cara have to decide their father’s fate together. Though there’s no easy answer, questions abound: What secrets have Edward and his sister kept from each other? What hidden motives inform their need to let their father die . . . or to try to keep him alive? And most importantly, to what extent have they all forgotten what a wolf never forgets: that each member of a pack needs the others, and that sometimes survival means sacrifice? Middleton Jazz Every Thursday Middleton Jazz is a diverse group of musicians who simply love to create music.

Donations Wanted The Road Home has been serving homeless families with children since 1969 in collaboration with faith communities, businesses, individuals and other partners. In 2016, 183 families, including 401 children received case management, shelter and housing service through The Road Home to relieve the immediate crisis of homelessness and build skills, resources and relationships that set the stage for long-term success. Our own Nimble Fingers group sews pillowcases for The Road Home and has also donated quilts and blankets to them. The pillowcases are used for their pillows, but also to carry some of their belongings from church to church. The Nimble Fingers group also donates hotel and trial size toiletries to this and other organizations. You may bring your toiletries to the Middleton Senior Center to add to our donation.
