Dear Claremont Book Club Members,

As our invited guests, the focus of the meeting will be about matters of interest to avid book club participants such as the multiple benefits book clubs bring to their members and their collective contribution to our community.

A special program has been designed to engage dedicated book lovers like yourselves in small group discussions concerning these topics. Diane Schuster, compiler of the For the Love of Books list of 2014 Book Group Reads, will be facilitating the discussion. A copy of the list has been attached. Please print out a copy and bring it with you if you will be joining us.

We are requesting that you share this invitation with members of your book club. Please RSVP to 909-626-4166 if you plan on attending.
