Meeting: September 2018

Augustus

In the spirit of the Kansas City AGM -- whose theme is "Persuasion: 200 Years of Constancy and Hope" -- we gathered on September 22 at the charming Black Dog Book Co. for a nautically-themed celebration of Persuasion. 

The afternoon featured a spirited book discussion led by Jane Hirtle, whose Ph.D. in Psychology came in handy when assessing the novel's characters and their various relationships.

Many thanks to Black Dog proprietor Amy Bradford and store kitty Augustus, who were most gracious hosts.
