"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"

April 8, 2016 Meeting of the WPA Chesterton Society



Greetings Fellow WPA Chestertonians,
At our upcoming April 8th meeting... (that's this Friday!)


...we will continue discussing Nancy Carpentier-Brown's much anticipated and newly released biography of Frances Chesterton, The Woman Who Was Chesterton.

Our discussion will resume  with Chapter 5, and continue through Chapter 7.
We will wrap up the remaining chapters 8-10 at our May meeting.

If you don't have a copy of the book, it is available as a soft cover print copy from the American Chesterton Society's website (www.chesterton.org) or from TAN books (www.tanbooks.com), and in print or digital (Kindle) format from Amazon.

Make sure to check this blog or on one of our Facebook locations if there is any question about the weather on the night of the meeting. I will post changes or cancellations no later than 5:00PM on the meeting day.

On a special note: 
In light of the Easter Season (and the end of Lent), we will resume our regular refreshment table. Please consider bringing a contribution to the festivities! 

As usual. our 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 a pot luck of refreshments, with the discussion beginning at 7:30. The meeting will wrap up around 9:30pm.

Looking ahead, please mark your calendar for the  35th Annual American Chesterton Society Conference on August 4-6, 2016. This year's conference will be in our own area, on the campus of Slippery Rock University. Registration and complete conference schedule is now available under the "events"  tab on the ACS webpage, www.chesterton.org.
