NAMI Starts a Book Club
NAMI is starting a Book Club - for fun and information!
First monthly meeting will be on Tuesday, June 23rd, 7:00 PM at the NAMI office on 5963 Boymel Dr., Fairfield.
First book to read and discuss is "The Soloist", a book writen by a journalist about his chance meeting with a homeless man who is a gifted violinist and graduate of New York's Julliard School of Music. The book takes us on their personal journey as their friendship blossoms. Come prepared to discuss the book or if you prefer, you can initially just sit in on the discussion itself and see if you'd like to be a part of the book club. We'll provide snacks and take suggestions from attendees as to which books to read. We want this to be an evening where people with like interests can join together in special friendship and bonding.
This book club was Amy Fatzinger's idea and will initially be facilitated by Rhonda Benson. As the club progresses, we will encourage others to take turns leading discussions.
