We had a great meeting on Friday Feb.1st. It was the one year anniversary of the group and we celebrated with a special birthday cake and a wonderful selection of books. Everyone was passionate about their choices. Below is the list, and coming soon is a complete list of all the books we've discussed and shared to date. It's very impressive!
New members are always welcome! We meet on the 1st Friday of the month-next month that's March 1st at 11am.
