WRC Book Club

The WRC Book Club is a group of women who meet for stimulating discussions around books of the group's choosing.

Our meeting is at WRC from 6:30 pm to 6:00 pm on the first Monday of the month (dark in July and January); except for September, which moves to the second Monday.

We welcome any woman who enjoys reading and interesting conversations!   Please email Monica Olinger at [email protected] for any questions about joining our group.
