Books on the Beach
The McGill Vancouver Alumni Book Club

Tuesday, June 7, 2016
6 PM to 7 PM

We're a group of Vancouver-based McGill Alumni who are attempting to expand our reading material beyond our friends Facebook posts, lengthy emails from our family and/or road signs - otherwise known as reading books. We're friendly, fun and we love newcomers, so make sure to drop in on this month's meeting!

We encourage you to bring:
- your own blanket/mat to sit on
- something to drink
- snacks to share!

It challenges the sacred tenets of the United States Constitution, urban life, the civil rights movement, the father-son relationship, and the holy grail of racial equality―the black Chinese restaurant
