Book Club
Please join us at the May 15 meeting, hosted by Karen G. Her book is Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt. An unlikely friendship between a giant Pacific octopus and a widow, wanting to discover the truth about her son’s disappearance 30 years ago. A beautiful exploration of friendship, reckoning, and hope-a reminder that sometimes taking a hard look at the past can help uncover a future that once felt impossible.
Please contact Karen to confirm you will attend. We’ll meet at 6:30 pm. Find her address within the TNC directory.
A book is a gift you can open again and again.

Evening/Couples Euchre
May euchre will be May 18th at the home of Marissa H. This will be our last euchre for the season. Please contact Marissa if you are interested in joining us. We are planning the next season of euchre from September 2024 to May 2025. If you know which month you would like to host in your home, please contact Darlene G.
We start at 6:45 pm, cost is $5 per person, and everyone brings an appetizer or dessert to share. All money is awarded that night for high scores, and low scores get a chance at euchre quarters. Hope to see you there.
We’re an intermediate group and welcome new people. If you’ve played Euchre before, consider joining us for a fun evening! Contact Darlene G. at euchre_couples@troynewcomers.com for more information about this activity.

Meadow Brook Ushering
ROUTE 66 follows the week of May 6th through 12th. This show is selling out quickly and I understand additional matinees are being added. This will not affect our schedule however. The play will contain the sounds of 1950 Chicago, Mainstreet USA, and the surf music of the 1960s. This musical revue will contain 34 of the best “Rock-n-Roll” hits of the 20th century. Get your kicks on Route 66!
If you would like information regarding ushering at Meadow Brook in the future or have questions, please call Marie H. or email meadowbrook@troynewcomers.com.
Scrapbooking
This month we will be traveling to the Scrapbooking Mega Meet at the Novi Showplace on Friday and Saturday, May 10th and 11th. Please notify Debbie R. if you are interested in joining those that are attending.
If you are interested in participating or have questions, please call Debbie R. or e-mail scrapbooking@troynewcomers.com
Wine Tasting
If you are interested in trying some new wines, enjoying good conversation and sampling a selection of appetizers and pot luck type dishes, consider attending a wine tasting evening. The May wine tasting will be held on Saturday, May 18th at 6:30pm. It will be hosted at the home of Marcia S. Please RSVP to Marcia by Wednesday May 15th, if you plan to attend.
Each wine tasting evening is hosted by a Troy Newcomer member. The members attending may bring a spouse or friend along with an appetizer, their wine glasses and $10 per wine drinker which will contribute to the cost of the wine. Those who do not drink wine are welcome to attend, contributing an appetizer but are not asked to pay the $10. The hostess chooses the wines she would like to serve and supplies the coffee and desserts. This is held once month on a Friday or Saturday evening of the hostess’s choice beginning at 6:30pm.
