Book Club

The Racquet Club has an active Book Club, going strong for almost three years now!  A core group of about 10 men and women meet in the Members' Lounge every six weeks or so (usually a Wednesday evening) to discuss a book.  Selections are made by the members on a rotational basis.  We usually read novels but are open to try other genres as well. 

Our next Book Club meeting will be held on Thursday January 5 at 7:45 PM.  We will be reviewing Lamb by Christopher Moore. 

We welcome newcomers.  Contact Larry through the club's email address to join us.
