Summer Book Club

Our last summer book club gathering is coming up next Wednesday, August 24. Please join us in the parlor for a light dinner at 6:00 pm followed by a book discussion. 


Our August book is The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett. A New York Times #1 Bestseller and one of Barack Obama’s favorite books of 2021, The Vanishing Half tells the story of twin sisters who grew up together but whose adult lives couldn’t be more dissimilar.
