This group seeks to promote the reading and thoughtful discussion of a varied selection of books and topics in order to expand our knowledge and stimulate reflection. We hope to increase our vision and see through the eyes of others through thoughtful, well prepared, civil discussions of selected books.
Books may be proposed by anyone and at any time via email to the Group coordinator, however those doing so will be expected to facilitate (or provide an alternate facilitator) for the discussion of the book if it is selected for Group reading. Suggested works are voted upon twice yearly by those members who have attended a minimum of four meetings over the past twelve months.
