The Wolfe Pack www.nerowolfe.org Book Discussion Group in Baltimore-Annapolis Mid‐Atlantic and Chesapeake Area Book Raceme* (“MACABRe”) Are "satisfactory" and "pfui" two of your favorite words? Would you rather put vinegar on things than use "contact" as a verb?

If you answered “yes”, then read on. Join us as the Mid‐Atlantic raceme of The Wolfe Pack expands its reach to Nero Wolfe fans in greater Annapolis!

WHAT IS A “RACEME”? 1) AN ELONGATED CLUSTER OF FLOWERS ALONG THE MAIN STEM IN WHICH THE FLOWERS AT THE BASE OPEN FIRST, AS WITH ORCHIDS, SNAPDRAGONS, ETC. 2) A LOCAL OFFSHOOT OF THE WOLFE PACK THROUGH WHICH YOU CAN HOLD BOOK DISCUSSIONS AND EVENTS IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
