Forty women signed up for today’s luncheon. We saw some members that we haven’t seen in awhile. Jean Otteman returned and brought her sister Harriet. Debbie Mastroianni was also in attendance as a guest. Our presenter was a local author and speaker Sue DeMarinis.
This is Sue’s fourth book and mesmerized the audience with her story telling. HIDDEN IN HAARLEM is based on a true and unbelievable story told to her by a ninety-five-year-old gentleman who lived in occupied Holland during WWII as a teenager.
What would you do if the Rogue Valley was taken over by another country? Would you resist? Would you turn on your neighbors to survive? These were the opening statements that captured our attention, made us think, taught us history, and touch our hearts.
