The JA Book Club meets on June 9th at 5:00 (summer hours) in the MacIntyre Room in the Carnegie Building.

We will serve tea and cakes as usual, providing physical as well as intellectual nourishment.
Congratulations to Sara Calkins, one of our founding members, on receiving the distinction of National Merit Scholar. We're very proud of you. See you all at our next meeting!
