The CFUH Book Group meets at Kirkwood Public Library next Thursday, February 23, at 7pm.

Our book this month is Unbowed by Wangari Maathai. She was the first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. She won in 2004 for her environmental efforts in Kenya, establishing the Green Belt Movement that promoted the planting of native trees while employing and empowering women.

Sue Stivers will lead our discussion. Please join us whether you have read the book or not. It should be a terrific conversation!
