August Meeting of the Noco Book Club

Our next book selection is A Walk In the Park: The True Story of a Spectacular Misadventure in the Grand Canyon by Kevin Fedarko. It is available through the usual channels. Since it is fairly recent book, there aren't many used copies available; but the Kindle version costs about half of the hardcover price. Any CMC member is welcome to attend. We'll discuss the book & anything else that comes to mind! An opportunity to learn from others and make new contacts. Hope to see you there! If you are not currently on the book club listserv, please send me a message with your email so I can add you to it. Thanks! --Rick
