This is a group for FUN women in their 30's & 40's who like to read and need to get out on the town every now and then. We'll pick a book to read and then meet every other month or so. This is a loose book club! We can discuss the book or just socialize when we gather.

Valley Girls Tuesday Night Book Club is about enjoyable reading for women who want to experience good books--period.  Doesn't matter the author, genre or medium.  In fact, I would encourage you to try different media when reading.  Try a book on CD/tape every once and a while--as long as it's unabridged.  Makes those car rides go a lot faster!  I'm not a slave to having the author be a woman or it necessarily even about being 'women's issues' (whatever those are) but would like to pick interesti …

This is the Pasadena Chapter for The Heart Link Network! I started this chapter because I have met some amazing women and wanted to creat a forum to support these women. I was honored when The Heart Link Network chose me to lead the 91106 chapter! Also, what better way to showcase my Estate Planning and Family Law Practice than to try to round up a bunch of enthusiastic and chatty women! :) In our gatherings we will follow the format created by Dawn Billings to network with and support other pro …

I'm looking to start a group. Not like any other group. This is a group focused on the importance of the ability to reason- the ability to discern. If you can read this, you can join.
