We meet in the homes of Branch members from 9:45 AM until noon. Guests and new members are always welcome. Meeting details are available in the Lake Washington Branch newsletter.
Current schedule of topics:
Mar 5 – Middle East Realignment

America’s Challenges Book Group
This group meets on Mondays, usually at six-week intervals, to read and discuss articles and non-fiction books that widen our knowledge and give context to the issues that face our society today. In so doing we hope to apply what we learn to personal choices and decisions we make. Members suggest readings and lead discussions on a rotating basis.
