This month, our Mystery Lovers Group will be reading An Unwanted Guest by Shari Lapena.
It's winter in the Catskills and Mitchell's Inn, nestled deep in the woods, is the perfect setting for a relaxing weekend away. But when the weather takes a turn for the worse, and a blizzard cuts off the electricity, the guests settle in for the long haul. But soon, one of the guests turns up dead, seemingly an accident. But when a second guest dies, they start to panic.
For April, the group will read Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty.
If you enjoy reading and discussing good mysteries, join us each month.

Busting the Myth about College Admission and Preparations
This is a seminar for any students and parents thinking about going to a college, presented by Complete Learning Academy. There are many myths surrounding the college admissions and preparations. CLA hopes to show why some commonly held notions are myths and what truly needs to be done. The myths to be discussed include, but are not limited to,
1. SAT/ACT score is the most important thing
2. The cumulative GPA is the only thing that matters from the High School Transcript
3. Grades after you sent your application does not matter
4. You can simply apply as undecided and not worry about what you will major.
5. SAT/ACT is unrelated to what you study in school
6. SAT Subject Tests are only for very special schools.
7. Month or two is enough to prepare for SAT/ACT/AP Exams/SAT Subject Tests.
8. 7th grade is too young to worry about college
Any specific question received in advance will be given special attention during the seminar presentation. Please send any question you may have to Complete Learning Academy via email at cla@clacenter.com or by phone at 412-701-1011. Korean service is available.
