Book Groups Update By Sharon Anderson
If you wish to see what others are reading, or get ideas for your book group or yourself, please refer to the “books” page under “Activities” on our
branch website (https://sacramento-ca.aauw.net/bookgroups/).
Each book group has its own tab, by book group number. (These book group numbers correlate with page 6 of the branch Membership Directory.) On each list, the meeting days, times and coordinator are listed. Feel free to call me if you have trouble locating it.

Living Our Mission of Equity By Charmen Goehring
We hope you will join us in a monthly equity conversation where we look at our own biases, seek actions we can take to attract diversity to our branch and become better people in the process. Each month, we read a section of our selected book then meet to discuss what we have learned, along with exploring other issues related to race and equity. We meet the first 
Wednesday of each month from 7 to 8 p.m. on Zoom.
The Zoom meeting code is 737 420 3780 or you can join using this link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/7374203780 We will discuss our current book, An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States, by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, on Oct. 2 at 7 p.m. We will discuss chapters 5 through 8 (up to page 162). If you have questions and to RSVP, please email Charmen at charminme@yahoo.com.
