Book Bites
Grab a bite and gab about books! Join us at our new summer location, Blue Wind Gourmet in Lexington Park, for a relaxed conversation about what you’ve been reading. Share what you loved (or loathed) about the last book you read, gather new recommendations from the rest of the group, and enjoy the company of fellow bibliophiles. Visit bluewindgourmet.com for directions and to see menu options available for purchase. Adults only. No registration required.
3rd Mondays: June 18, July 16, August 20; 6:00-7:30 p.m.
