Member Book Club (06/17/2026)

Wed, 17 Jun 2026 23:30:00 GMT

We hope you will join us for our next meeting (and final meeting until September), on Wednesday, June 17, at 7:30 pm, when we will be discussing Twice by Mitch Albom: “When he is eight years old, Alfie Logan discovers the magical ability to get a second chance at everything. He can undo any moment and live it again. The one catch: he must accept the consequences of his second try—for better or worse.”

Everyone is welcome to attend, regardless of whether you have finished (or even started) the book. Book Club is mainly an opportunity for old and new friends to get together and chat and snack.

We meet the third Wednesday of each month. Please contact Debbie if you have any interest in hosting a meeting.
