Gather with Luther alumni and friends to discuss great books, all without having to leave your house!
We’re thrilled to announce that Luther’s Alumni & Friends Virtual Book Club is starting back up this spring! Keep an eye out for future sessions—even if you’re unable to join this spring, we hope the club will return again in the fall.
Over three sessions in May, you can join fellow alumni and friends to discuss “Heritage of Darkness” by Kathleen Ernst. Set in the Vesterheim Norwegian American Museum right here in Decorah, “Heritage of Darkness” promises to be a fun read and even more entertaining discussion.
The virtual book club will meet on Zoom on Tuesday evenings, May 7, 14, and 21, from 5:30-7:00 p.m. Central Time. Registration is full.
