The Book Club meets once a month at 10am (on the 3rd Friday of the month) in the Church Library to review and discuss books of high interest. Everyone is invited to attend.

The club chairman is: Alan Stein 447-4235 and the co-chairman is Peter Philip 666-0105.

As you might know, there will be no Book Club meeting in December.
The next Book Club meeting is scheduled for Friday January 15, 2021 at 10:00am. At this time, we don't know if we will be able to return to the Church Library for this meeting or if instead we will have another ZOOM meeting.

We will keep you posted.

At the meeting we will discuss "Killers of the Flower Moon" by  David Grann.

Ray Rubin will lead the book discussion.

We wish all of you a safe, healthy and very Happy Holiday Season!

In the 1920s, the richest people per capita in the world were members of the Osage Nation in Oklahoma. After oil was discovered beneath their land, the Osage rode in chauffeured automobiles, built mansions, and sent their children to study in Europe.

 

Then, one by one, the Osage began to be killed off. The family of an Osage woman, Mollie Burkhart, became a prime target. One of her relatives was shot. Another was poisoned. And it was just the beginning, as more and more Osage were dying under mysterious circumstances, and many of those who dared to investigate the killings were themselves murdered. 

 

As the death toll rose, the newly created FBI took up the case, and the young director, J. Edgar Hoover, turned to a former Texas Ranger named Tom White to try to unravel the mystery. White put together an undercover team, including a Native American agent who infiltrated the region, and together with the Osage began to expose one of the most chilling conspiracies in American history.
