Reading Roundtable meets twice a month to discuss a 5- to 10-page essay, short story, or poem from an anthology. This year we are reading The Civically Engaged Reader, a collection of short readings (classic and contemporary) related to civic service. Meant for people engaged in volunteer work, philanthropy, and other forms of civic activity, the book addresses questions such as: What are our motives for volunteering? Does service address inequalities in our society? What does it mean to give and receive? We have lively, wide-ranging discussions! We meet the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month at 10 a.m. Visitors and newcomers are always welcome.
