Beaver Valley Probus Club

Chapter 3 normally meets at the homes of members in the afternoon of the 1st Wednesday of the month.

Once a year, each member suggests a book. We schedule them to try and vary the topics, style, and intensity. We choose older books that are available through the library and try to avoid the obvious best sellers that people have already read. Some recent books included The Covenant of Water by Abraham Varghese, The Wager by David Grann, The House of Doors by Tan Twan Eng, I Know Why the Caged Birds Sing by Maya Angelou, and The Stone Angel by Margaret Laurence - our classic for this year. Occasionally we view a movie version of the book as we did for The Book Thief.

We are a very informal group. This year we are trying a new format where the person who recommended the book starts the discussion. So far we have never had a meeting without a lively conversation! To keep members who can't attend a meeting included, each month we share our rating of the book, major topics discussed and our current reading favourites through an e-mail afterwards.
