Clicquot Book Club
Love books? Love talking about books? Join us for the Cliquot Book Club review the first Thursday of every month from 2-3:30pm. We meet in the Roche Bros. room. Hear what’s new in books, what makes a great read, and discover reader favorites. The best part about this club is that you don’t even have to read the books before you come. Each month we discuss several new releases and our opinions of them. Discussions are lively, full of laughter and we serve light refreshments.
The only thing missing is you.
