With holiday and event schedules this year, we decided to move our meetings to the SECOND MONDAY of the month at 6:30 pm. We will remain meeting on Zoom throughout the winter, but continue to propose meetings in-person as weather permits.
If you’d like to join the evening book club please email lwvstpaul@lwvmn.org to be added to the list. We’re excited to see new faces!
