The CFJC’s Community Book Club has read and discussed 7 books together, and we welcome you to join us for Book #8! This opportunity is open to anyone – donors, nonprofit partners, and community members. The Discussion Table Book Club is an informal space for professional development, networking, and learning. Our book for this summer is “Philanthropy Revolution” by Lisa Greer. This summer book club will be a different format than usual, with the group reading the full book independently then coming together once, in person to discuss the full book. We hope you can join us!
