"I still hold that it is the main earthly business of a human being to make his home...
as symbolic and significant to his own imagination as he can;
whether the home be in Notting Hill or Nicaragua, in Palestine or in Pittsburgh."-G.K.Chesterton, "The Artistic Side"

June 12, 2015 Meeting of the WPA Chesterton Society


Greetings Fellow WPA Chestertonians,

This Friday we will begin a little light summer reading with The Club of Queer Trades. We will begin the book by reading the first three stories at our June meeting and finish it in July. 

Here is a link to a "Chesterton 101 Lecture" on the book,  by Dale Ahlquist from the ACS website.

The book is 146 pages, paperback. (It is also available digitally for free on the internet.) With our ACS local group discount, a real copy will cost $6.00 (includes S&H). I have ordered copies of the book for those of you who requested and paid for them. They have not arrived yet, but hopefully will do so by Friday. (If they don't arrive in time, I will bring some print copies of the first few chapters for us to share.) Also, any of you who have digital reading devices, please bring them to the meeting. The book is available as a free download at Project Gutenberg website.

As usual, the meeting will be held in the Village of Middle Lancaster, at the Lancaster Township Community Center located on Kings Alley and Community Center Drive, in Butler County PA. Kings Ally is a right turn off of Rt. 19N, approx. 4.5 miles north of Zelienople, just past the Zion Lutheran Church. (The Community Center is a former one room school house, adjacent to the ball fields at Bauder Park.) The doors will open at 7:00pm for pot luck refreshments, with the discussion beginning at 7:30. The meeting will wrap up around 9:30pm.
