July 2026 Crying in “H” Mart by Michelle Zauner.
In this exquisite story of family, food, grief, and endurance, Michelle Zauner provesherself far more than a dazzling singer, songwriter, and guitarist. With humor and heart,she tells of growing up one of the few Asian American kids at her school in Eugene,Oregon; of struggling with her mother’s particular, high expectations of her; of a painfuladolescence; of treasured months spent in her grandmother’s tiny apartment in Seoul,where she and her mother would bond, late at night, over heaping plates of food.

June 2026 Lisette’s List by Susan Vreeland
In this story we follow the life of Lisette, a young Parisian woman who is forced torelocate to a small Provence village when her husband’s only living relative, an oldgrandfather who reared him, writes to tell them he is failing and needs Andre to care forhim. This is a blow to Lisette who had been about to follow her passion for art by gettinga job in a gallery. She consoles herself with the knowledge that Pascal owns seven
paintings by famous artists since he used to work in the ochre mines of his town, laterselling the pigments produced by the ochres, which put him in touch with artists. Thisinitial part of the book, concentrates on painting.
Then WW2 comes along Andre goes off to fight, hides the paintings before he goesand, does not tell his wife where they are hidden. After the war Lisette goes looking forthe paintings and has some unfortunate losses. She and Andrè lived an inspiring lovestory, and Lisette was just simply a good soul (she was raised by a nun after all).

May 2026 WCV at Night
2026-05-27 18:00 - 19:30 | Shadowridge Golf Club, 1980 Gateway Drive, Vista, CA, 92081, United States
Pickleball began in the summer of 1965 on Bainbridge Island, Washington, when Joel Pritchard, Bill Bell, and Barney McCallum set out to entertain their families with a simple backyard game. Using a badminton court, ping-pong paddles, and a perforated plastic ball, they created something entirely new. What started as a casual afternoon experiment quickly grew into one of the fastest-growing sports in America.
The beauty of pickleball is that truly anyone can play. The court is smaller than tennis, the paddle is easy to handle, and the rules are simple to learn—making it perfect for beginners, older adults, and families alike. You don’t need years of experience or peak athletic ability to step onto the court and start having fun.
But what really makes pickleball special is the laughter. It’s the quick rallies, the friendly competition, and the way people naturally connect across generations. Whether you’re playing your very first game or you’ve been on the court for years, pickleball invites everyone in.
So, for our next meeting, May 27th, 6pm, Shadowridge Golf Club, bring your friends and hear from an expert how Pickleball can become your next activity of friendship and laughter!

May Book – Educated by Tara Westover
Educated is a 2018 memoir by American author Tara Westover. Westover recounts overcoming her survivalist Mormon family in order to go to college and emphasizes the importance of education in enlarging her world. She details her journey from her isolated life in the rural mountains of Clifton, Idaho to completing a PhD program in history at the University of Cambridge in Cambridge, England. She started college at 17 having had no formal education. She explores her struggle to reconcile her desire to learn with the world she inhabited with her father.
On September 13, 2020, The New York Times reported that the book had spent 132 consecutive weeks on the Hardcover Non-Fiction Best Seller list.[2] It won a 2019 Alex Award and was shortlisted for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, PEN America‘s Jean Stein Book Award, and two awards from the National Book Critics Circle Award.[3]

2026 Donation Day
2026-05-13 16:00 - 18:00 | Alta Vista Botanical Gardens, 1270 Vale Terrace Drive, Vista, CA, 92084, United States
Donation Day is a special day for The Woman’s Club of Vista. It’s a celebration of the culmination of a year’s work of philanthropy, where donations and scholarships are awarded to deserving students and nonprofits in Vista, CA. Representatives from the nonprofits, students earning scholarships and their advisors, WCV members, and guests attend this event.
Each recipient has a chance to introduce themselves and let club members know how their donation or scholarship will be spent. Donation checks are presented by the Presidents and Treasurer to each recipient.
Earlier in the year, WCV members nominated a 501(c)(3) organization in North San Diego County, with priority is given to organizations that provide meals, shelter and clothing for the needy, disadvantaged or homeless. Funds are also available for field trips, books, animals, and community, education, and recreation. Board approval determined the final list of donation recipients. Scholarships were determined first by selecting eligible Vista schools; then, nominations were made solely by school counselors. The Scholarship Committee guides participants through this process.
Donation Day is truly one of the most rewarding days for WCV members. There is no cost to attend this event, which is held at Alta Vista Botanical Gardens. There is no lunch meeting in May due to this event, and regular lunch meetings will resume in June. Please use the blue button to RSVP your attendance yes or no.

April 2026 – Ordinary Grace by William Kent Krueger
This book is a mystery and coming-of-age novel narrated from the perspective of Frank Drum and set in Minnesota. The plot centers on a series of deaths that strike the fictional town of New Bremen in 1961. For thirteen-year-old Frank Drum it was a grim summer in which death visited frequently and assumed many forms. Accident. Nature. Suicide. Murder.
Told from Frank’s perspective forty years after that fateful summer, Ordinary Grace is a brilliantly moving account of a boy standing at the door of his young manhood, trying to understand a world that seems to be falling apart around him. It is an unforgettable novel about discovering the terrible price of wisdom and the enduring grace of faith.
