Book Club

On September 29, 2019, the BWC kicked off the creation of its book club with a celebratory and organizational meeting.  We met again on Sunday November 10, 2019 to discuss our first book and we've been meeting monthly every since.  Everyone is welcome to join.  Below is a list of our upcoming meetings scheduled for the 2nd Sunday at 4 pm every month unless there is a holiday.  As you can see, we are in need of hostesses for our July, September and October 2020 meetings.

The hostess selects the book to be discussed and leads the discussion.  Prior to the pandemic, we generally met at the hostess' home or a location of her choice and other members volunteered to supply beverages and snacks.  With the start of the pandemic, we have moved to a virtual format via Zoom.  Contact Sarah Martin '93 if you would like to host.
