Opportunities to AFFECT: Reading Group
The February selection for the First Tuesday Book Group is
An Invisible Thread: the True Story of an 11-Year-Old Panhandler, a Busy Sales Executive, and an Unlikely Meeting with Destiny by Laura Schroff. This story chronicles the lifelong friendship between two people and how their lives were changed by what began as one small gesture of kindness. (www.cbf.net/book-clubs/).
This discussion group gathers on Tuesday, February 6, at 6:00PM in the Conference Room. We’d love to have you join us, even if you’ve not been able to complete the book! All views are welcome and appreciated. A light supper is served. Contact Frances Marandi: 423.648.2543/[email protected].
