| What the KC Girlfriends Are All About and How to Join |
| Our Mission Statement: |
| To provide a comfortable environment for diverse women to discuss fictional novels and current events in an intelligent and thought-provoking manner. To be able to join together in the name of sisterhood in a social atmosphere and make a literary impact throughout the community. |
| Book Format: Books read by the KC Girlfriends Book Club are fictional based, and written by African American authors. Nonfiction books are considered from time to time as well. Authors are welcome and invited for book discussions and signings. |
| Dues: Dues are $24 each year, and should be paid by November's meeting. This money helps to fund our visting author's meals, part of the hotel expense for out of town visiting authors, and other charity events we may want to help fund. New members should pay at the end of the first meeting they attend or can send their dues in the mail prior to the next scheduled meeting. Meeting Date, Time, and Locations: Meetings are held on the 3rd Sunday of each month at 4pm. Meetings will be held on the second Sunday if a holiday falls on our set meeting date. We generally dine in restaurants located in or close to the Country Club Plaza, but can include any surrounding areas as well. Restaurants will be posted on the meeting information page on the website. We sit down promptly at 4pm with the discussion to follow at 5:15ish. Evites are emailed out one week prior to each meeting. Members should respond to all Evites by the Saturday prior to meetings. Book Suggestions: Any member can suggest a book for the book club at any time. The member should be able to give a brief description of the book. This member will also facilitate the meeting. Either the member or representative will come up with the restaurant to hold our meeting. Group Trips, Social Events, and Annual Charity: This group's annual trip is to the National Book Club Convention in Atlanta which is held on the 1st weekend of August each year. We try to have one social event each month. We will be starting an annual charity event which will include a book drive for various institutions and also starting next year adopting a family for Thanksgiving or Christmas. We are a fun group of women to be around. The age range of our group is early 20's to late 40's. We have 20+ members. There's nothing better than discussing a great book while eating at some of the best restaurants in the Kansas City area.
