CLUB

Chair: Dana Friehauf

Fiction and non-fiction books and films that touch on current social and environmental issues that we deal with at the League.  

 

Update: Due to the upcoming election, we are taking a hiatus from meeting and will determine interest in holding Book Club events in early 2025.

If you’d like to receive emails about future Book Club meetings, please
