Let’s gather for another session of Big Blue Book Club!

Save the dates . . . the next Big Blue Book Club will be held on Thursdays, September 10-24 and the book is The Art of Gathering: How we meet and why it matters by Priya Parker. In Extension we meet all the time. This book explores how to make gatherings more meaningful by focusing on purpose, design and participant experience. It challenges our routine ways of meeting and encourages thoughtful, engaging interactions that truly connect people.

This session will be presented via zoom and led by Dr. Monica Mundy, Assistant Extension Professor for Family and Community Health. Registration starts on July 15. Visit our Big Blue Book Club website (https://fcs.mgcafe.uky.edu/home/big-blue-book-club) for the registration link.
