2013-2014 Meeting Schedule and Reading List
Book Group normally meets on the third Thursday of each month at 7:30 p.m. It is open to all Greater Richmond AAUW members and their guests. Our name Bon Air Bookies honors the group’s history as a popular facet of the former Bon Air Branch AAUW, one of two branches in the Richmond area now combined as Greater Richmond AAUW.
Book Group meetings are open to all GRAAUW members and your guests! Please join us. We’d love to see you! For more information, please contact DeAnn Lineberry.
