August 16 at 1:00 pm The Girls of Atomic City by Denise Kiernan

At the height of World War II, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, was home to 75,000 residents, consuming more electricity than New York City. But to most of the world, the town did not exist. Thousands of civil-ians--many of them young women from small towns across the South--were recruited to this se-cret city, enticed by solid wages and the promise of war-ending work. Kept very much in the dark, few would ever guess the true nature of the tasks they performed each day in the hulking factories in the middle of the Appalachian Mountains. That is, until the end of the war--when Oak Ridge's secret was revealed.

Copies of the book are available in the office. If you finish the book before the date of the discussion, please return it to the office. Otherwise, return the book to the Library.

Happy Hour

Happy Hour is a fun way to start

the weekend off on a happy

note. It started at the Center

about two years ago. We typical‐

ly meet on the last Friday of the month at a local water‐

ing hole. We are fortunate to have many local restaurants

that will accommodate us. We’ve enjoyed happy hour at

the Arc c Breakaway, Alehouse, Thompsons, Cleary’s

Pub, Smokehouse 52, Wines on Main, Jet’s Pizza. Come

check us out. You never know who will drop by. Some‐

mes we have 6 people, some mes 30! August’s Happy

Hour is at Chelsea Grille on Friday, August 25.

Thanks to all who par cipated in the 2nd annual Euchre

Tournament. Fun was had by all!

Supper Club is back September 12.

Kaleidoscope concerts are back September 19.
