Greetings federation family!
Per the request of Isabell, I am forwarding her email throughout the affiliate, and especially to chapter/division leaders who may have members not on this list-Serve.
Isabell is a college student and would like to facilitate a discussion based on a book members can read together through  ifferent media. Please see her email and contact her if you’re interested or have any questions about how to obtain these books.
Isabell, thank you for stepping up to share your love of reading with our affiliate, and for Facilitating this group!

> As we all know, due to the current events we are all going through a very hard time especially with social distancing guidelines in place. Let’s get rid of some of that distant feeling by getting together once a week to discuss a book!

>  for the past few weeks I’ve been keeping myself entertained by reading books, and I figured why not take that to another level and read a book with a group of people and come together to have a discussion. I got the idea of hosting a book club that would meet once a week. I was thinking  Fridays at 2PM via conference call or zoom. Below are the two books that I was thinking of reading along with the synopsis. Whoever would be interested in joining, please email me the book that you would be interested in. The book with the most votes will be the one that we start off with. Lets get this book club started! These books are available on Bard, bookshare, and audible.
