Fall 2020 Book Discussion Group

Just because we can't hold dance classes doesn't mean we can't be active in other ways. A book discussion club has been formed. On its agenda are three stories of Irish interest:

• BLACK POTATOES (the Story of the Great Irish Famine, 1845-1850), by Susan Campbell Bartoletti
• THE IRISH BRIDGET (Irish Immigrant Women in Domestic Service in America, 1840–1930) by Margaret Lynch-Brennan
• 97 ORCHARD (An Edible History of Five Immigrant Families in One New York Tenement) by Jane Ziegelman

Every member who is interested in participating must sign up. Contact Sonja via her email. Discussion sessions will be done via Zoom on designated Tuesdays; see our events calendar. Twenty-one have signed up so far. Participants will get an email from Tom O. with connection instructions a week before the discussion date. There will also be an outline of ideas for discussion. You have to acquire the books on your own. Good readings!

Hurry - the signup deadline for Black Potatoes is October 13 and the first discussion is October 20!

Dance Class Announcement
