Come Share the Warmth

Book Discussion Group Book Discussion Group
Come join our group which usually meets on the last Friday of each month usually at Perkins at 11:15 a.m. Come once or come every time - new, regular, or occasional participants are always welcome. We order lunch individually, catch up on each other's news, and then discuss the book. Books are chosen one or a few at a time, depending on the recommendations from the group. Check the newsletter or calendar for changes in date or location. The Hayward Library has 10-12 copies available each month. Just ask for the Methodist Book Club book. Updated book information is available at: http://www.weisscommunitylibrarybookclubs.wikifoundry.com/page/United+Methodist+Church+Book+Club
