Book Club
Meetings are usually held the third Monday of the month - location varies
-
Prior to the Covid 19 pandemic our book club met on the third Monday of the month at different restaurants for lunch and discussion. Due to the Coronavirus pandemic book club stopped meeting face to face in the spring of 2020 and began meeting outdoors at Hanover Park in June 2020. Meetings remain the third Monday of the month. We will meet at Hamilton West Baptist Church at 10:30 from October through March. Beginning in April (weather permitting) we will return to meeting at Hanover Park until October. Watch your email account for updates or contact Marilyn McKnight or Betty Collins directly for details.
