Book Club
Meeting schedule
Our Book Club meets on the 3rd Friday of the month at noon. Meeting place varies but it is usually at Stonecroft Manor in Oakland during the winter months and at Dutch's in the summer months. The patio facing the lake is a great spot to discuss the book, enjoy lunch and the beautiful lake as well.
