Thursday Book Club Special Guest
Don Womack, World War II Veteran
Thursday, April 4 @ 12:00
Don Womack has graciously agreed to speak to the Thursday Bookclub about his experiences in WWII. Last month the book club read The Secret Keeper by Kate Morton, and the discussion prompted a desire to learn more about the time period covered in the book. So while this is a book club meeting, you do not need to have read the book to hear Don speak, just bring an interest in hearing a firsthand account of WWII!
