The plan is for meets to always be the afternoon of the last Saturday of the month. But I’m totally open to changing that if it’s not working for enough people. Come out and let’s talk about it!

Can’t wait to see you all on the 25th to talk about sinking into that good, good, queer nature! 🏳️‍🌈🌲

@queerbookclubqathet Let’s talk Forest Euphoria on October 25th, 1:30PM at 32 Lakes! If you missed last month, good news: we chose to carry the book over to October so everyone had a chance to read. Even if you haven’t read the book but want to check out what a book club is all about, please join! 💕
