Today marks the 20 year anniversary of my book group that originally started as a special interest group with BPW known officially as Northwest Houston Business and Professional Woman.
BPW Past President
Edna Thompsen had a vision to increase opportunities to get to know each other
better, additional networking opportunities, and enjoy being together more than
once monthly.
There were mentoring groups, investment groups, a financial mentoring group now called Dollars and Sense, and of course our book group.
The organization has gone through some changes but our reading group is still thriving. At that time we had so much required reading that it was quite a respite to have some leisure reading with other professional women.
Two of the original group Wendy Cole and Mari Davis plus myself as the facilitator are still here plus are retired along with fellow members Louise Burke and Judy Carlini. Others are welcome to join us since it's no longer an "official" BPW group. Our book group is still comprised of BPW sisters; two are still active in BPW, Evangelina Vela and Denise Lewis.
What a joy of a time
we have together. We review a book each month, have a great lunch, and then do
as women do we share our lives in conversation. Good time fellowship.
