Club to discuss Shaffer/Barrows novel The Waldwick Library will host a discussion of “The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society” by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows on Thursday, May 13 at 7:15 p.m. The German occupation of the Channel Islands, recalled in letters between a London reporter and a gaggle of Guernsey islanders, is the engrossing subject of this lively debut novel.

Since 1990, Novak has traveled between her New Jersey and Los Angeles offices, inspiring audiences to focus on progress rather than perfection when it comes to simplifying their lives.

The state’s budget deficit and homeowners facing decreasing property values and high unemployment have resulted in enormous pressures on schools to reduce their budgets. I was the treasurer of a large church in Manhattan which had to go through a sizable budget reduction and am currently on the board of a small private college going through the same process. At the same time, I want to help maintain NHRHS’s stellar reputation. “My experience in the finance industry and on the boards of many not-for-profits would be an asset to NHRHS as it goes through an extremely difficult time. My real strength is that I have gone through this type of change with other organizations.” He added, “State aid is gone; property owners do not want their taxes raised; teachers want to keep their jobs; and students want to have all the resources and courses that they always had. Unfortunately, everyone cannot get everything because state aid is gone. In most corporations that I have been in, the change is done with an axe: ‘Everyone loses 10 percent. Make it work.’ In the college that I am on the board of, the change was effected with careful listening and love. I hope to bring that approach to NHRHS.” design/build ������������������������������ Horizon Landscape & Irrigation Craftsmen has been creating and maintaining beautiful landscapes for over 35 years.
