Marion COA to Launch Book Club
The Marion Council on Aging announces that beginning on Wednesday,
Feb. 21, a monthly Book Club will begin, which will meet monthly at 1 p.m. on
the third Wednesday of every month. The Book Club is being organized and
led by the Friends of the Elizabeth Taber Library.
The February selection is The Book of Charlie: Wisdom from the Remarkable
American Life of a 109-Year-Old-Man, by David Von Drehle. This recent best-
seller will provide much grist for thoughtful discussion, not only about the
subject’s long and productive life, but about how we all have experienced life.
The book also relates Charlie’s experiences to the remarkable changes in
American life over the past 100 years. Books and a sign-up sheet will be
available at the Marion COA. The group will be limited to ten participants.
