Gentlemen:

The Book Group met today to discuss The Wager, by David Grann. Thanks to Mark Simon for leading a very interesting discussion with the 13 people in attendance at Beth Emet.

Unfortunately there were technical difficulties that did not allow others to join virtually. Going forward, it was decided to have meetings Virtual Only starting in November thru March, 2024, as we did last year since a number of us are away for part of the winter.

Going forward, our Book next month is The Dig, by John Preston - a historical fiction based on true events in England just prior to WWII. Meeting will be on Wed, Nov.22 @ 1:30. As said, this will be strictly virtual.

Finally, as the Nov. book is the last in our 4 month cycle, we will be taking book recommendations going forward for the Dec - thru- March cycle. Please have your suggestions in to us no later than Nov. 15. Click here to submit your choices.

All for now. Thanks for your participation, and look forward to seeing many of you at our next meeting.
