Diversity and Inclusion Book Club

 Monday May 16th, 6:30pm - 9pm
The Home of Felicia and Eric Eve 


We enjoyed ourselves so much at the last gathering that before we parted we committed to have another before the school year ended.  Everyone is invited to join. 

Our next book selection is:


A sensitive and informative story about a family's experience of their transgender child's transitioning, including both the emotional ups and downs of their lives as well as the science/biology related to gender identity.

We are also happy to announce that we will be joined by special guest speakers who will share with us from their expertise as transgender adults, talk about the book and answer questions. 

Food and refreshments will be provided.

Please RSVP by clicking here.
 
If you have any questions please send them to DivInc.BCS@gmail.com.
