You are invited to join us for coffee/tea and pastries and to meet our book discussion leader, Lisa Kiss, as we introduce SoFo’s once-a-month discussion group featuring books about nature, science, and environmental Issues.

At this first meeting, you’ll decide on the day of the week, monthly dates, and book titles for subsequent meetings. Group members’ book suggestions will be welcome.

Some of the titles we are considering are:
