At our February meeting we will begin a discussion of Chesterton's Autobiography. We will discuss the first four chapters.
Below is an excerpt from the bookstore page on the Society for GKC website, about the book:
Here is a special two-in-one book that is both by G.K. Chesterton and about Chesterton. This volume offers an irresistible opportunity to see who this remarkable man really was...
...Here is Chesterton in his own words, in a book he preferred not to
write, but did so near the end of his life after much insistence by
friends and admirers. Critic Sydney Dark wrote after Chesterton died
that “perhaps the happiest thing that happened in Gilbert Chesterton’s extraordinarily happy life was that his autobiography was finished a few
weeks before his death. It is a stimulating, exciting, tremendously
interesting book. It is a draught—indeed, several draughts one after the
other—of human and literary champagne.”
Find yourself a copy of this book on the Society of GKC website, or any number of other sources on the internet, and start reading. On February 21, we will pop open the bubbly of the first four chapters!

As usual our WPACS 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 7:00 pm for our usual potluck of refreshments, with the discussion beginning at 7:30. The meeting will wrap up sometime around 9:30 pm.
