Book Groups
"There are no faster or firmer friendships than those formed between people who love the same books" - Irving Stone
AWA currently has several book groups that each meet once a month on different days and times. Our traditional style groups allow you the opportunity to meet other women and to participate in regular discussion of books. Book Group members decide on the books to read in advance so that everyone has ample time to obtain and read them.
Group members are asked to host or co-host one meeting per year.
Attendance: As our book groups are often oversubscribed, we ask that you only register for a group if you can attend regularly. If you have registered but you miss three meetings in a row, we will sadly have to cancel your registration to allow another member to participate.
Schedule:
Currently available book groups:
Group 2. Afternoon on 1st Thu and 2nd Mon of the month
(members can choose which of the sessions they prefer to attend)
Currently full book groups:

Movie Club
Love movies? Come join us! This social group meets once or twice a month, depending on movie schedules, to watch a film together and then go for lunch or drinks to engage in lively discussions, sharing thoughts and insights.
We’ll meet at various movie theaters 15–20 minutes before the start of the show to purchase our tickets with seats near each other. Afterwards, we’ll head to a nearby place for lunch or drinks. Just cover your own ticket and meal—there’s no money collected by the AWA.
Movie schedules are released late, so we won’t know the exact film until the previous week.
