    Greetings CROAH member!


    We are now accepting nominations for the next group read to cover the fourth US President, James Madison.

    Please send your suggestions via one of 2 ways:

    a) a private note to either Regina or Dog Lover (this method reveals your email address to us), or

    b) use the "Questions About this Group" text box found on the member's tab. This sends an email to both administrators and masks your email address.

    Please do NOT post your nomination to the site's discussion tab.

    Please include the title, author, and brief description of the book. It would also be nice if you included the Shelfari book page URL.

    Nominations will be accepted through the 18th. Nominations will be posted and voting will take place through the 25th. We will post the selected book on the 26th.

    Because we are approaching the Holidays a revised schedule will be followed for the remainder of 2009 and beginning of 2010. We will vote for the Madison read in October, post discussion questions in November, skip December, vote on Monroe reads in January, and post discussion questions in February.

    A suggestion has been made to continue the extended reading schedule past the Holidays and provide 2 months between book selections. We would be interested in hearing anyone's thoughts on this. Would it help you? Would you lose momentum? Are you too busy to participate on the current schedule.

    Please post your comments on this proposed scheduling change to the nomination thread found at http://www.shelfari.com/groups/34700/discussions/146618/James-Madison-Nominations-are-Open

    The four books we've chosen since the group started have been fabulous. We look forward to seeing the nominations for the fifth.

    Thanks,

    Regina & DL

    Greetings CROAH members!

    The nominations are in for the CROAH September group read about Thomas Jefferson.

    You'll find the ballot at http://www.shelfari.com/groups/34700/discussions/137240/Vote-for-Thomas-Jefferson-Reads---September-2009

    This is a "ballot" therefore...

    Please vote only once.

    Please indicate only a vote "for" - do not vote against a title.

    Please do not include any sales talk or justification for your vote - just "yae" or "for".

    The last 3 reads have been just fabulous. With this range of nominations, it looks as though we'll have another winner for our 4th group read!

    Thanks so much to all of you who submitted nominations - great job!

    Lookin' forward to your votes,

    DL

    Greetings!

    (I'm certain that Regina will send you an "official" welcome but I wanted to say, you joined at a very good time! We are just starting our next group read selection process.)

    The Chronological Read of American History Group (CROAH) is now ready to receive your nominations for the group's September read.

    The subject is Thomas Jefferson. To nominate a biography, please send the title, author, and a brief description of the book to the group administrators. You might choose to also include the URL for the Shelfari book page associated with your nominated title.

    To send us your nominated title, you may use either the "private note" feature (which will reveal your email address to the administrators) or the "Questions about this group?" text entry box found on the member tab of CROAH which will protect your privacy.

    Nominations will be accepted through Aug 16 2009.

    Voting will take place from August 17 - 23, 2009 with an announcement on August 24, 2009.

    Lookin' forward to seein' your nominations!

    I was kidding, though a number of the secretaries here love the Twilight series. I like the creepy stuff...and I sleep with a night light.
