Well, first you invite the author who would name his book about growing up in a family with a cabin in Desolation Sound:  Adventures in Solitude: What Not to Wear to a nude potluck and other stories from Desolation Sound. Then, you serve a yummy lunch.

So, thanks to the chutzpah of one of our members (cough *Diane de Visser* cough) Grant Lawrence was enticed onto the ferry from Vancouver to arrive at Pam Straka’s home for lunch where he charmed the full complement of our membership with even more awesome tales of how he turned his membership in an all-girls book club into a best-selling compendium of life north of the Sunshine Coast.

And while it was a clothing optional event, Grant’s picture will give you a hint as to how most of us handled that decision. A fabulous time was had by all.
