Book Club is held on the fourth Friday of each month, except November, at 10:30 AM at the home of one of the group members. The books to be read and discussed each month are chosen by the group members.
Members volunteer to take the role of discussion leader. We welcome all old and new members.
Members are encouraged to bring a guest to “try out” the Book Club.

Welcome Book Club Friends! | |
October 28 – This is the first meeting of our new Book Club calendar year. Ten new exciting books were chosen at our August meeting and we have many open opportunities still available for ladies to sign up to host a meeting, to choose a book and be the discussion leader, and to provide snacks. On this date we will be meeting at the home of Tracy Williams, who will also be
supplying the snacks. We are still in need of someone to choose a book from our new book list and offer to lead the discussion.
There is no meeting in November due to the Thanksgiving holiday. However, to accommodate for the holidays, we will have a meeting on December 2. The meeting will be at the home of Dolores Zavisca. We still need someone to lead a discussion on one of the books, and someone to provide snacks.
All members attending in person must be fully vaccinated.
Contact information & directions can be found in the Newsletter and the Directory.
