FCC Capital Area is happy to announce the start of
Our Very Own Book Group

The group will meet once a month to discuss selected readings related to adoption, Chinese culture/history, and general parenting issues.

Books will alternate between fiction and non-fiction and will be chosen by the group several months in advance.
Feel free to participate on a regular basis or when a specific book or theme appeals to you.
In addition to book discussions, the group will occasionally discuss films and attend cultural events.
FCC members at all stages of parenting and waiting are warmly invited to join the group.

Our book group selections are listed below.

All FCC Capital Area members are warmly invited to join the group at any time.

For more information or to order a copy of any or all of these books, go to www.amazon.com

If you plan on attending the first gathering or if you have questions, please contact Lucia Saperstein at luciamorgan@yahoo.com.
Lucia will provide you with all of the details in terms of the location and time of the book group meetings.
