Mark Twain once said, “Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.” While the sleepy conscience bit is a tad hedonistic for good Pathfinders, we are going to take his advice on good books and friends! As part of our continued commitment to community through conversation, we’re launching the Spectrum Online Book & Film Club.
Please join us every month for our discussions!
