Book Club
The centre runs an informal Book Club which meets once a month and decides on a book to be read.
The book that has been read is discussed by all those attending the session
for about an hour and a quarter. Each member is encouraged to express their
views, feelings, doubts, ask questions and make comments. The members then
continue to discuss the book informally over a cup of tea, coffee and
dessert.
For participation, please contact: Sushma Prasada Tel: (514) 931-0942
