October 27, 2019

Join us for our 4th annual Murder Mystery Dinner "Murder in the Keys."

The game is designed for adults (18 and up), as it features some adult themes. It is also quite tongue-in-cheek, with humorous character names and some goofy story elements. But the mystery is solvable…if the audience members pay close attention, ask intelligent questions, and use the process of elimination to find out whodunit. Guests will be on teams working together to solve the crime. Get you team together and join in on the fun. This is a free program and no sign up necessary.

Light meal will be provided. This event will last 2-3 hours.

Join us this month as we discuss "The Woman in the Window" by AJ Finn!

"It isn't paranoia if it's really happening . . .
Anna Fox lives alone--a recluse in her New York City home, unable to venture outside. She spends her day drinking wine (maybe too much), watching old movies, recalling happier times . . . and spying on her neighbors.
Then the Russells move into the house across the way: a father, a mother, their teenage son. The perfect family. But when Anna, gazing out her window one night, sees something she shouldn't, her world begins to crumble--and its shocking secrets are laid bare..."

There will be a potluck this month!


November 18, 2019

An evening for women to let their hair down, make new friends and enjoy discovering a new book. This months featured book is "Shanghai Girls" written by Lisa See.

The meal will be an Asian food potluck! We hope to see you there!
