WOW Book Club

The WOW (Women of Woodland) Book Club reading season kicks off the first Friday in August with book nominations from which we select nine books. At each subsequent meeting, a member reviews the book selected for that month. There is typically a lot of robust discussion and even more robust laughter!

There are no dues and you do not need to be a church member to participate in the WOW Book Club. We welcome all women who love books!

The meetings wind up around 11:30 am. Tables are set up for those who choose to bring a lunch. Questions? Contact Gina Garrison.
