Book Club
The Book Club meets monthly to discuss the selected reading. We meet on the third Tuesday of each month from 1pm to 2:30pm, upstairs at Twin Maples. New for next season, we're introducing a few evening meetings at 7pm to 8:30pm!
Meetings are open to all Fortnightly Club members. Please read the book before attending! We will use the publishers' discussion guides to moderate our meetings.
Co-Chairs: Joyce Zemsky & Emkarr Meehan
