About this event

Hello and, as always, a warm welcome to all our new BRTD members!👋🏼 It was lovely so see so many new faces during our last meeting. Our next meeting will take place on **Saturday**, **September 26th** at **5:30PM** at **Le Parc Cafe** inside the Coral Gables Country Club (*997 N Greenway Dr, Coral Gables, FL 33134*). **How It Works:** A month(ish) prior to the next meetup, I will create the next event and announce the book we will be reading.📖 These will generally be in the mystery and thriller genre, of course.
