Membership
| Welcome to the KC Girlfriends Book Club Website! |
What type of members are we looking for?
1. We are always looking for energetic members. Our book club is limited to 30 members. Men are also welcome to
join as Gentlemen of the KC Girlfriends Book Club.
2. You should love to read African American fiction.
3. You should be able to attend meetings on a regular basis. If you have a lot going on right now and can only
make a few meetings a year please look into joining us during our radio show book discussions. There is no need in
you joining if we hardly see you.
4. Read the books every month regardless if you intend on attending the meeting. You can still join us during the
radio show discussions if something comes up.
5. Read the books regardless if you like the book or not. There's still a discussion to be had telling us why you
didn't like the book. You really can't have an opinion if you didn't read the entire book. This also shows support
for the members that chose the book.
6. We do not allow members to come to the meetings without reading the entire book. We cannot discuss books
that have been half read. We are a book club first and a social group second. Guests sitting in on our discussion
for the first time is exempt from this rule.
7. Be willing to help support the book club and the members. We are starting to move in a new direction as far
as helping to organize an annual literary event in the future, be more involved in the community, etc. We'll need
everyone to help out in one way or another. Also, other members have social events that come along from time to
time. We like to support each other's interests as well.
8. We are a fun group and want members that can bring a new point of view to the table! We expect to have
different opinions about the books. It just makes that discussion even more lively!
9. Know that we meet in various restaurants throughout the Kansas City Metro. Everyone will have to travel
further than others at some point. This is unavoidable due to everyone living in different areas of the city. We only
meet once a month so it shouldn't be made a big deal of. (Trust me this has been an issue for some new members,
which is why it's being addressed)
These standards may sound a little bit harsh or maybe direct, but necessary. We really do want active members that
are willing to take the time and effort to become involved members of our group. Unfortunately, due to us having an
open membership it is even more necessary to get straight to the point and weed out the people that will not be able
to comply with these simple guidelines.
