Greetings
Hello everyone. I'm the new OHMC President and I am looking forward to all of the events & activities planned in the year ahead. My family moved here in June 2012 from Nashville. My husband, Nathan, works for Owens Corning, and we have a 1st grader, Micah, and a 4 year old, Cora. I'm grateful that I could join OHMC as a newcomer to the community. Whether you have babies, toddlers, elementary kids, or high schoolers, OHMC has a spot for you to be involved. Sometimes you are the mentor and sometimes you are the mentee. Be thinking about what you have to offer other moms and what you may need from others. I guarantee that we can use your talents!

The remaining books this year are:
NOVEMBER Say You're One of Them by: Uwem Ukpan
Each story in this jubilantly acclaimed collection pays testament to the wisdom and resilience of children, even in the face of the most agonizing circumstances. A family living in a makeshift shanty in urban Kenya scurries to find gifts of any kind for the impending Christmas holiday. A Rwandan girl relates her family’s struggles to maintain a facade of normalcy amid unspeakable acts. A young brother and sister cope with their uncle’s attempt to sell them into slavery. Aboard a bus filled with refugees—a microcosm of today’s Africa—a Muslim boy summons his faith to bear a treacherous ride across Nigeria. Through the eyes of childhood friends the emotional toll of religious conflict in Ethiopia becomes viscerally clear. Uwem Akpan’s debut signals the arrival of a breathtakingly talented writer who gives a matter-of-fact reality to the most extreme circumstances in stories that are nothing short of transcendent.
DECEMBER A Hologram for the King/Dave Eggars
A National Book Award Finalist, One of the New York Times Book Review's 10 Best Books of the Year, One of the Best Books of the Year from The Boston Globe and San Francisco Chronicle In a rising Saudi Arabian city, far from weary, recession-scarred America, a struggling businessman named Alan Clay pursues a last-ditch attempt to stave off foreclosure, pay his daughter's college tuition, and finally do something great. In A Hologram for the King, Dave Eggers takes us around the world to show how one man fights to hold himself and his splintering family together.
