  Join MSON's Book Club for a Cozy Retreat Day on Friday, June 6th!
  
  

  This June, we’re mixing things up! Instead of reading a specific book, we’re hosting a Book Swap—plus a relaxing day filled with crafts, connection, and time to unwind. Think of it as a calm before the storm—a quiet pause before the summer rush begins. It’s also a sweet chance to say goodbye to friends who are moving and lighten your load during this season of change.

  
  

  9:30 –11 AM: Reading & Craft Time with Coffee and Tea
  Bring your own book, project, or craft to enjoy while sipping coffee or tea and nibbling on pastries and bagels. Pastries from Batista’s and bagels from Bristol Bagel Works

  Choose your vibe: 

  Top floor: quiet reading only

  Second floor: soft conversation & crafting

  Outside: relaxed chatting and catching up

  12 PM–2 PM: Lunch & Book Swap

  Enjoy a casual lunch and refresh your shelf with something new from a fellow member. Salad bar & potato bar provided

  Leftover books will be donated to the NMCRS Thrift Store to support our military community.

  
  

  Date: Friday, June 6th

  Time: 9:30 am - 3 pm (Come and go as you please)

  Location: Ashley's House in Bristol

  Cost: Free, optional: Cash/Venmo donations given to Ashley toward food are welcome

  Comfy clothes encouraged. Come and go as you need. Cozy vibes all day.

  Please do not bring any food or drink—just books you'd like to swap or donate.

  How does it work?

  This is a great way to try new recipes, share meals, and simplify your meal prep. Each person will prepare one meal for the total number of people signed up (no more than 10). At our meet-up, we’ll swap meals, so you’ll leave with multiple freezer-ready dishes to cook whenever you need!

  

  We'll finalize the participant list, vote on recipes, and then get cooking! Register early to ensure your spot and help us finalize the list.
  

  Where: Melissa Purnell’s house in Middletown (address will be sent to those who sign up)
  Cost: Your recipe (most meals cost $13-$18 each)
  

  Limited to 10 members, so RSVP today to secure your spot!
