The Altrusa Wine & Chocolate Literary Society meets on the 4th Monday of each month.
 
The Committee reviewed all of the wonderful books that have been recommended by members. It was difficult to narrow down the list but they have found a fantastic variety for your reading pleasure in 2012.  They made an effort to include classics, new books, mysteries, non-fiction, and just plain fun reads. 
 
Join us for a fun evening of Friendship, Wine, Chocolate, and Literature.
