Reading Black Lives

“Reading Black Lives” Book Group, Sunday, February 19, 12:00pm, South Presbyterian Church

The FUSW Reading Black Lives book group is reading On the Rooftop by Margaret Wilkerson Sexton. Described as “stunning,” this novel "is about a mother whose dream of musical stardom for her three daughters collides with the daughters’ ambitions for their own lives—set against the backdrop of gentrifying 1950s San Francisco.” Weather and COVID permitting, the group will meet in person at South Church at noon on Sunday, February 19 to discuss the book. All are welcome. Contact Denise Woodin at (dcw2@optonline.net) if you’d like to join the discussion.

FUSW Contacts & Information

Questions, Concerns, or Compliments for FUSW? Reach out to any member of our Board of Trustees, fusw.org/board-of-trustees (place cursor over picture, then right-mouse click to copy email).

The Board of Trustees usually meets on the third Tuesday of each month. Meetings begin at 7:30pm. We are currently meeting online. Meetings are open to any member of FUSW. If the Board enters into executive session to discuss personnel or confidential matters, non-Board members will be asked to leave for that portion of the meeting. At the end of the meeting there will be an open forum, moderated by the President, during which non-Board members can speak about topics of concern. We ask that you limit your remarks to two minutes. This forum will last from five to ten minutes, depending on the Board agenda. Please contact any Board member if you have questions or comments. To access the minutes from previous meetings, visit the Members page of fusw.org and click on Board Minutes Archive. Click here to join our meeting on Zoom.
