About Book Club #1

Book Club #1 meets once a month usually via Zoom (3rd Thursday of the month, 3:30 – 4:30 p.m.). Once or twice a year, we meet in person at a member’s home. We typically alternate between fiction and non-fiction. We had our 140th book discussion in November.  We select books every six months from books “nominated” by our members.  Usually, the person who nominated the book will lead the discussion. Book Club #1 first met in 2012 and has always had both men and women members. We’ve added many new members over the years, but several of our current members were among the founding members of the group. New members are very welcome!
