Winter is a fantastic time for enjoying the snow and then curling up on the sofa with tea and a good book.
All are welcome to join the AARC Book Group for its upcoming winter 2026 meetings. Participating in the AARC book group is a great way to get to know terrific people while discussing interesting topics and sharing delicious food.
Here are the dates and books:
- Sunday, January 11 – The World That We Knew
- Sunday, February 8 – Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet
- Sunday, March 15 – God Is Here: Reimagining the Divine
All three meetings will begin with in-person lunches at Audrey’s and Greg’s house, with lunch prepared by Audrey, from 12:20-1 PM. Lunch will be followed by a hybrid in-person/Zoom book discussion from 1-2 PM. Many thanks to Audrey and Greg for their coordination, cooking and generous hosting!
