What’s On 
Murder on a Monday Reading Group 2023
Date & Time
The group is currently full. Any changes to this will be published in our Newsletter.
“Murder on a Monday” is a crime and mystery reading group for SMSA Members.
The group meets on the first Monday each month at SMSA Level 1 or 3 from 12:00-2:00pm.
There is a topic for each month, and members read books of their own choosing that relate to that topic.
Each meeting, a volunteer from the group will give a short presentation on that month’s topic, then members are encouraged to share with the group comments on the books they have read in the past month.
This is a friendly “brown bag” lunch event – that is, BYO lunch to munch during our meeting.
