One of the main criteria for book selection is that the book lend itself to the creation of programs and events that can be experienced by our community. The Pleasure Was Mine, at first presented a challenge when we concentrated on the theme of Alzheimer's disease. However, as we read and reread the book, all of us came to see that this book was about so much more. This was a book about family challenges and the opportunities these challenges created. With that in mind, we proudly offer the following events. Please remember, all events are free to the public.
