Join the Atlas Shrugged Book Club
An Atlas Shrugged Book Club has started up in St. Louis. The book club provides participants with a forum to discuss how the 53-year old novel depicts a 21st century reality, and why it has become so popular lately.
There are four sessions over a 4-month period from July to October, giving everyone time to read the parts of the book. Plus, there are two options for attending: the fourth Thursday of the month at 7:00 pm, or the second Thursday of the month at 11:00 am.
Sessions are limited, so contact Lorie if you want to join. See this brochure (PDF) or visit the club's website for more information.

No Meeting in June
We will have a summer break during June instead of having a meeting. This will give everyone some extra time to read Atlas Shrugged if they are participating in the Atlas Shrugged Book Club, which starts in July.
