CYCWA Happy Hour Book Club and Book Mates promote camaraderie among book lovers within the California Yacht Club, provide a forum for stimulating conversation, and expand our members’ knowledge and enjoyment of literature. We offer two different groups, daytime and evening. Join us for one or both! Meeting dates, times, and selections are announced in the weekly Zephyr, and on this CYCWA web site.
Book Mates meet at lunch on the first Thursday of the month. If you are interested in joining Book Mates, send an email to Marie Hedlund or Sue Moore.
Happy Hour Books meets the third Wednesday or Thursday each month. Please refer to the calendar online for upcoming dates. For more information, please email Jr. SEO Berry Wilkinson or Madelaine King.
Reservations for lunch or appetizers are essential.
Please book your reservation by the Sunday preceding the meeting.
