Greetings, book lovers ….
Just a brief update on Book Club as well as upcoming events and storytimes at Camalli Book Company.
On Monday, June 30, at 6:00 the Camalli BOOK CLUB discusses our June pick, Stef Penney’s The Tenderness of Wolves (6:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m.). Join in for the discussion or just be honest about it, say you didn’t read the book, and join us for a glass of wine anyway … that’s okay, too. Our July pick is The Thirteenth Tale.
Tuesday, July 15, 3:00 p.m. … special story time! Local authors/illustrators June Atsuko Martel and Sandy Beelmann share their new children’s book, In My Day. June will also do a paper craft with the kids after the story. In My Day follows two children, one in Japan and the other in America, through a typical day in the early 1900s.
For THIRD THURSDAY WORD in July (7/17) we have Jason Graham coming in. Jason is a local artist/poet/musician … you may have read the article about him in the Bulletin back in January. Join us on July 17th for an evening of spoken word and for the grown-ups, a glass of wine or beer.
Saturday, July 19, at 2:00 children’s book author and illustrator Todd Parr visits the Tower Theatre. Camalli will be there selling his books. Admission is by free ticket, available at all Deschutes Public Libraries beginning July 5.
July Story Times … We went on a brief hiatus, but will resume story times starting Wednesday, July 2, at 3:00. Because of summer schedules, we are unable to do morning story times for awhile. Here’s the story time schedule for July:
-Wednesday, July 2, 3:00 p.m., Theme: The Moon -Tuesday, July 15, 3:00 p.m. … special story time! See above. -Wednesday, July 16, 3:00 p.m., Theme: Gardens -Wednesday, July 23, 3:00 p.m., Theme: Trucks -Monday, July 21, at 6:00 author Steven T. Wax comes to Camalli to discuss his new book Kafka Comes to America: Fighting for Justice in the War on Terror, A Public Defender’s Inside Account. Here’s what Publisher’s Weekly had to say about the book (you also may have heard Wax on OPB a couple of weeks ago):
“Federal public defender Wax” masterfully delivers a harrowing story of the erosion of civil liberties after the September 11 terrorist attacks in a powerful testimony that reads like a thriller. Wax follows the stories of two men he represented, both victims of post-9/11 counterterrorism measures. The first—American citizen and fellow lawyer Brandon Mayfield—was arrested by the FBI as a suspect in the Madrid train station bombings in 2004, after the FBI claimed that a latent fingerprint found on the scene matched Mayfield’s. The second story revolves around Adel Hamad, a Sudanese-born hospital administrator arrested in Pakistan while doing refugee relief work. Imprisoned for six months in “a fetid hell” for alleged connections with al-Qaeda, Hamad was hooded and shackled and transferred to Guantánamo Bay, where he has languished for the past four years. With considerable finesse, the author narrates these two gripping stories in alternating chapters through each stage of his clients’ cases. Wax offers personal insight and professional outrage; his is a powerful voice that deserves to reach all Americans.”
Happy Reading!
Tina

A brief update on this month’s in-store events, story times, and book club:
Join us at Camalli on SUNDAY, JUNE 8, at 4:00 p.m. as we welcome Portland-based author TREVOR SCOTT. The author of more than a dozen novels of espionage and intrigue, Scott will stop in at the store for a reading and signing. And if you’re a budding writer yourself, come on in and ask questions! It’s the best way to learn about publishing process.
Scott’s most recent book, BURST OF SOUND, was called “highly entertaining” by the Midwest Book Review and “very exciting” by WP Book Reviews. A former Air Force officer, Scott joined the Navy just shy of 18, working on the dangerous flight deck of aircraft carriers as an aviation ordnanceman on cruises to the Mediterranean, the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans. Done with the Navy after four years, Scott attended the University of Minnesota, earning a degree in English and journalism. He soon rejoined the military as an Air Force officer. He served on a Ground-Launched Cruise Missile unit in Germany for three years during the crumbling of the Berlin Wall and the fall of communism, where he participated in joint exercises with the German Army and Air Force, and escorted Soviet inspection teams in compliance with the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty.

Tickets on sale June 2nd for MENOPAUSE THE MUSICAL at 2nd Street Theater July 24 – August 30.
2nd Street Theater presents MENOPAUSE THE MUSICAL by Jeanie Linders Performance dates July 24 – August 30, 2008 Wednesdays – Saturdays 8pm, Sundays 3pm Tickets on sale June 2nd $25.00 Adults, $20.00 Students & Seniors (62 and up)
MENOPAUSE THE MUSICAL The Hilarious Celebration of Women and “The Change”.
Since March 2001, the hilarious show Menopause The Musical has entertained and inspired women from coast-to-coast and internationally. The work of writer Jeanie Linders, Menopause The Musical features 25 re-lyricized tunes from the ‘60s and ‘70s and culminates with a salute to women who are experiencing “The Change”.
Set in a department store, where four women with seemingly nothing in common but a black lace bra meet by chance, the musical pokes fun at things such as hot flashes, memory loss, mood swings, wrinkles, night sweats and eating binges. The show’s intended message is that menopause is a passage, but it should no longer be “The Silent Passage”. It is a stage in every woman’s life that is perfectly normal.
Menopause The Musical® has entertained audiences across the country in more than 100 cities. Each week nearly 35,000 women of all ages and stages find their spirits lifted by the show’s light-hearted look at menopause. It is estimated that nearly 10 million women in 12 countries have attended a performance since the show’s opening in Orlando, Fla., in 2001. Even men who are brave enough to come with their wives have a great time, after the show starts you can see them laughing and poking their wife and saying “That’s you honey”.
Directed by Maralyn Thoma, Artistic Director of 2nd Street Theater, the show features four talented local performers; Lyryn Cate as the Iowa Housewife, Rachel Deegan as the Professional Woman, Anne Du Fresne as the Soap Star and Lori White as the Earth Mother.
Performances are scheduled July 24th through August 30th, 2008, Wednesdays through Saturdays at 8pm and Sunday matinees at 3pm. Tickets go on sale June 2nd and are $25.00 Adults, $20.00 for Students and Seniors (62 and up). Call the Box Office at (541) 312-9626 or go online at 2ndstreettheater.com.
