Description

A Mid-Fall's Night Dream... We Are! Marquette! Pere Marquette, that is. The Helium Book Club is headed back downtown for one last outdoor hurrah (!!) before (*shudders*) winter comes. Join us for the October Gathering of The Helium Book Club on Thursday, October 14th from 5:30-6:30PM (note the earlier start time) at 🌆 Pere Marquette Park in heart of downtown MKE! We'll meet by the iconic gazebo (you can't miss it)! Look down at your captivating book. Look up at the beautiful city skyline. Look ahead at the majestic Milwaukee River. Look forward to a perfect fall night! And, don't forget to get your thinking cap on...a trivia prize is waiting 👀 ** If the weather does not cooperate on October 14th, we will plan on gathering Thursday, October 21st instead. Same time, same place. We will be in touch if re-scheduling is required. ** All you need to bring is a book, a smile, and a great attitude (& maybe a blanket)! Per usual, snacks and drinks will be provided for your enjoyment! As always, feel free to bring whatever elevates your reading experience! Worth mentioning, we do have limited seating, so if you have seating at your personal disposal, we encourage bringing it with you. ++ Directions to Pere Marquette Park can be found using this 🔗 link. Public parking can be found on/in surrounding streets and lots. As always, we want to take all necessary precautions regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. If you have not been fully vaccinated, please bring and wear a mask 👍 As you know by now, the gathering will (albeit loosely) abide by the following structure: - A few minutes of chit-chat at the outset - Brief discussion of what people are reading (sharing is optional, of course) - Silent reading time - Time to chat with others about what you read, high points, low points, etc. - ⭐ Trivia & prize giveaway...everyone is included! ** If you have any questions, feel free to email us at [email protected] ** About The Helium Book Club | Designed with the new, nation-sweeping idea of 'silent reading' in mind, The Helium Book Club is perfect for all reading personalities. It's simply a get together of readers, doing what they love—reading, talking literature, etc. Want to chat? Chat! Prefer to keep to yourself and read in peace? Do just that!
