Many thanks to everyone who attended our second Solutions-Focused Community Book Club, discussing The Reading List by Sara Nisha Adams! We hope you enjoyed the conversation and connections as much as we did.
Participants were invited to share their must-have books for a community reading list as part of the evening’s activities and together created a new reading list (shared below). If you missed the August meeting but would like to get involved, please RSVP for our September Book Club Meeting and start reading How We Show Up by Mia Birdsong.
