Book Club

 

Book Club is a fun, laid back group which meets once a month, typically on the third Tuesday of the month starting at 7:00pm.  We cover a wide range of literature from Harry Potter, to mysteries and Bridget Jones, to biographies and even Virginia Wolf!  The conversation is light as we discuss the book, catch up on events of the past month and enjoy the wonderful selections of hors d'oeuvres, dessert and beverages that our hosts provide.  You aren’t expected to attend all meetings but please call the meeting hostess to confirm your attendance.

 

 Please email Joanne if you are interested in attending the bookclub.
