First Meeting of the 2024/2025 Season - September 21, 2024
“We have all a better guide in ourselves, if we would attend to it, than any other person can be.” – Fanny Price, Mansfield Park
Our first meeting of the 2024/2025 season is fast approaching! We look forward to welcoming you back on Saturday, September 21.
Our very own Lona Manning will discuss Mansfield Park and whether it is as controversial as people think it is. This talk will no doubt spark an interesting discussion afterward!
Don’t forget to bring the $5 meeting fee and a finger food for our shared lunch.
