book cluster

Do you love to read and talk about it?
Join us for fun discussions on the newest best sellers.
Chair: Laurie S.

how the cluster works

- Each month and one member picks a book and the location
for the next event.

- Depending on the length of the book, we sometimes meet
every other month.

- The person who picks the book is rotated until all members
have gotten a chance to pick a book.

- The book picked is discussed as we socialize over dinner.
