UMRA Book Club II: The Friendly Fourth Friday Book Club

The Fourth Friday Book Club (book club II) has openings for new members. We read an eclectic variety of books suggested by members covering award winning fiction, informative nonfiction and books you should have read as an undergraduate. We are a congenial group that values the diverse points of view of our members. Our lively illuminating discussions guarantee to make you a smarter and more fascinating conversationalist at your next dinner party. 

We meet by Zoom the fourth Friday each month (except December) at 2:00 in the afternoon. If interested in giving our group a try, please contact Bob Bache at [email protected] or Dorothy Marden at [email protected].
