Signup for Our Flash Event Texts!
Don’t miss out on the fun—sign up for our Flash Event texts. “Flash Events” are last minute events that require no planning, reservations, or responses and aren’t on the Santiva Islanders’ calendar. They’re just something fun to do and we want to invite the gang along. It’s like texting a friend on Friday to say something like— “Hey—we’re going for burgers and brews at the American Legion on Sunday from 1:00—2:30. Come join us. “
No response needed. Just show up, or not. So far we’ve been to the American Legion and Breezer’s Tiki Bar.
Obviously, we can’t text all of our members. Plus, some members aren’t great fans of texts. Therefore, we are starting out small. If you want to be included in the fun, please sign up here.
Note: These texts will come from “Santiva Islanders” and will not allow anyone to respond, so you won’t get a million pings from everyone on the text string responding. We don’ t need or want to know who’s coming, but you’ll know one of the Santiva Islander gang will be there to greet you when you show up—could be two folks or twenty, but for sure, it’ll be fun. You can opt out at anytime.

Tuesday, August 12, 2025—The Book Spy by Alan Hlad
1942: With the war’s outcome hanging in the balance, President Roosevelt sends an unlikely new taskforce on a unique mission. They are librarians and microfilm specialists trained in espionage, working with a special branch of the Office of Strategic Services and deployed to neutral cities throughout Europe. By acquiring and scouring Axis newspapers, books, technical manuals, and periodicals, the librarians can gather information about troop location, weaponry, and military plans.

Featured Book: Confederates in the Attic by Tony Horwitz
A non-fiction account of the late author's journey through the Southern United States, exploring the enduring legacy of the Civil War and the "mythic" South. Horwitz's travels are a mix of travelogue, social commentary, and personal reflection, as he interacts with individuals and groups who still hold the Civil War's memory and its associated "Lost Cause" narratives.
Margie Peters will moderate the discussion. Don't forget to bring a sack lunch.
No need to RSVP. Just come join us.
