WHEN's Inaugural Book Club Meeting a Success!
After sharing our thoughts on the terrible tradegy in Haiti, on January 20, 2010 WHEN convened the first meeting of the Health & the Environment Book Club.
This one-of-a-kind book club is dedicated to reading and discussing an exciting roster of selected books. The first pick “Slow Death by Rubber Duck” proved popular because it deals with contemporary information that the average consumer can take action on in their lives. As we got to know each other’s personal story, the need for a family of like minds became more and more apparent, as was expressed the day after by some of the members.
“Fran, thank you for organizing us and lending your lovely house for this epiphany.”
