(Bad weather or unforeseen circumstances could cause an adjustment in the months and their books.)
We borrow the books through Marion Public Library’s Interlibrary Loan (with the great help of Shirley Mooney). You have a month to read the book and then return to the library. We have some great discussions and read some great books.
It is OK to sit in on a discussion even if you haven’t read the book.

The first Friday of every month kicks off with a free continental breakfast at 8:30 AM which is followed by Bingo (cost- $1.00) at 9:00!
