Book Club
The monthly Book Club taps into the innumerable ways in which women express themselves through their lives and stories. Members of the Women’s Impact Book Cub select books from a range of genres, many that feature strong female characters whose stories are often told by female authors.
Members and guests feed their intellectual, professional, social, and cultural needs all at the same time when they participate in the Book Club, which meets on the second Monday of each month at 6:30 p.m.
Gatherings are hosted and facilitated by different members each month. Hosts provide a light snack and beverages, sometimes coordinating with the theme of the book. We invite all to come for the conversation and camaraderie (whether or not they’ve read the month’s book selection).
