Dick Simpson and the Wellington Book Club invite you to the launch of Dick’s new book:
Chicago’s Modern Mayors: From Harold Washington to Lori Lightfoot
THIS TUESDAY, January 9 from 6-7:30 p.m.
at the Harold Washington Library auditorium.
It will be available on YouTube for those who can’t attend in person.
The Book Club meets next on Saturday, January 20th at 10am to discuss Swing Time, which “has brilliant things to say about race, class, and gender, but its most poignant comment is perhaps this. Given who we are, who we are told that we are not, and who we imagine we might become, how do we find our way home? Granger’s romanticization of village life, undoubtedly naive, rests on a correct understanding: that belonging has a value all its own.” — The Guardian
Ann-Louise’s year of hosting the Last Supper* Club has drawn to a close – but we’re keeping the tradition alive!
The Congregational Life Committee is recruiting volunteers to host one Last Supper* Club this year – and Ann-Louise will host an “orientation dinner” for new hosts on January 31st!
