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-OpenThe 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

You would think that is a simple explanation, but like most of my life nope. My program is Educational Administration, but I really don't want to do that. It was what they offered at the satellite campus that is in the process of becoming their own full-fledged university. I'm much more into Curriculum & Instruction. It's part of why I'm stuck about completing my program of studies--my heart isn't totally into it. I'm still sorting through my thoughts and such not to decide what direction to go.
Enjoyed your post on the Chronological Read of American History.I'm a student at UNT as well. They established a new campus that I was able to attend for all but a 2 classes online and 1 that I had to go up to Denton for (about 1 1/2 hours away if no problems with traffic). Our classes were held at 2 locations so although we had a classroom it was still teleconferenced. The other site that held our classes some of the profs didn't want to come down to our location so we either only met them in person once or never. Others were real good and alternated between our two sites.Oh you lucky dog living where you do---I can't wait till the day we get to move back up to your region. Was just there last week and my wife and son are still there this week.
I see you have read Washington The Indespensable Man. I wanted to invite you to check out a group: The Chronological Read of American History at http://www.shelfari.com/groups/34700/aboutWe are reading biographies of presidents in order. Hope to see you there.
