meaning of "the odd party" and "like cheese, she's always on a board"
Hello,
Could you explain meanings of following sentences from a novel "No, I don't want to join a bookclub"
I can't figure out what " the odd dinner party" and " like cheese, she's always on a board"
mean.
I suppose the odd dinner party can spring a wonderful surprise. And Marion, being somethins of a wonder woman- like cheese, she's always on a board-has been known to produce interesting guests. But generally dinner parties are like the lottery. You rarely win.The problem is first of all there are never enough men,...
(*Marion is a close friend of Mary, the heroin of this novel, and invited her to a dinner party.)
Your adivise would be highly appreciated,
