YNPN Phoenix Book Club is new and improved! Announcing the Salon and Sip Club. Like Book Club the new discussion club will focus on a topic relevant to the mission of YNPN Phoenix. Unlike traditional book club we are going beyond our highlighted book and getting more in depth with weekly articles, blogs, video postings and highlighting nonprofits that work on the topic. So if you can’t read the book that’s okay. You can still jump in on the discussion.
Our first topic of discussion will be Building a Sustainable Phoenix guided by the book Bird on Fire by Andrew Ross. First meeting is March 13th 6pm at SunUp Brewery. So get the book, check out our Friday article posting via Facebook and the website and see you in March for some lively discussion in a fun environment.
