    book_group_collage0302


    The North Carolina Peace Corps Association Book Group is comprised of RPCVS
    who love to read international books and eat international food. The book group discusses books about the world or by international authors. Add to that a pot
    luck dinner from the selected country and you've got a great evening!


    Meetings begin at 5:30 pm and go until 8:00 pm the third Sunday, of the even-numbered months.

    The restaurant-but-no-book gatherings will happen on the third Tuesday of odd-numbered months, at
    6 p.m.

    For more information about the Book Group, to RSVP and for directions
    please contact
