Book Club

You are invited to join the Council’s Spy, and Travel and Adventure Book Club. We meet on the last Thursday of the month from 7pm – 8pm on Zoom.  Join our well-traveled host, Beth Ahlstrom, on a unique journey into viewing the world with new perspective through reading. The discussions are lively, friendly, and insightful. One month we will read a spy novel—from anywhere on the globe—and the next month a book focused on travel and adventure. You will be asked to RSVP and will then be sent a link to join the Zoom meeting. Of course, you are encouraged to read the book but if you are unable to, you are still welcome to join the discussion!
