Banned Books
Each month we get together to discuss a banned book. While many would prefer to shy away from these books, I’ve found them to be the ones that bring community together the most and help us all push against our comfort zone to understand a wider world.
When you join us for a Banned Books event, you’ll receive:
Dinner at The Red House, including custom designed drinks, appetizers, 3-4 course dinner, and delicious dessert.
A copy of the book sent directly to you.
Opportunity to build community with a group of amazing women.
First access to all new events.
There are only 8 seats available each month, so don’t delay in registering.
Sign up for five Banned Book events of your choice for just $325! Once you click Add To Cart, you'll be able to select which events to sign up for.
