Celebrating 10 Years of the Iris Book Club

Our first meeting was held in April 2003 and 10 years have gone by extremely quickly.  We would like to thank all of our members both past and present for making our club a fun place to read and discuss books and life.

Over the years, our meetings have celebrated many milestones including weddings, babies, new jobs, new homes as our lives have all changed.  We decided to celebrate our book club's milestone by choosing the best of the best and then some :)
