January Gals Evolving Bookclub (Last Thursday of January)
January 30 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
$15.00
The CBR Gals Network presents the Gals Evolving bookclub at Queenies Kingston. Gals Evolving is a feminist book club that provides a safe space for gals to grow, learn, share ideas and become fuller versions of themselves. Join us over nibbles and drinks for thoughtful conversation, introspection and laughs with some like-minded gals.
This month, the book choice is “The Covenant of Water” by Abraham Verghese.
Content Warning: “The Covenant of Water” by Abraham Verghese includes content warnings for themes of death, medical trauma, drowning, violence, sexual content, mental health struggles, and societal inequities.
The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese is an epic multigenerational story set in Kerala, India, spanning the 20th century, and follows a family plagued by a mysterious condition where members drown in water. Through themes of love, loss and resilience, the novel explores the intersection of medicine, culture and societal change over time.
The cost of this event covers food. Drinks will be available for purchase.
Join us for our Gals Evolving bookclub at Queenies Kingston from 6 to 8:00 PM.
About this Event
FAQs
Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event? All ages are welcome to attend. Our age ranges typically from 19 – 65. Must be 18+ to drink alcoholic beverages.
What are the conditions of the Gals Evolving Book Club?
Membership and attendance is free, but each event costs $15 to cover the cost of nibbles. Additionally, becoming a member is a monthly commitment. To become a member, attendees must:
- Attend three consecutive monthly meetings, to be held on the last Thursday of each month at a central location.
- Note: After becoming a member, attendance is required at two of every three meetings. We think it’s important for gals to consistently attend meetings in order to form close relationships with other members.
- Come to each meeting well-versed in the chosen book. Gals can “read” the book in whatever format you want, just come ready to chat about the book.
What are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event? There is plenty of parking but we recommend rideshare or carpool!
