Highland Book Club
Highland's book club meets monthly for an enjoyable discussion of the book for that month. The group is very informal, meeting in the homes of various members of the group. While the conversation usually begins with someone asking, "So what did you think about the book?" the discussion explores everything from favorite characters to the meaning and wisdom we glean from the story. EVERYONE is welcome...we are always looking for more folks to join us. Some people attend every month, others show up from time to time as they are able to get the book read, some show up even without reading the book simply to enjoy the conversation and fellowship.We usually meet on the fourth Sunday of the month at 7 pm.
Hope you will join us!
