MAW's Ottawa-based reading group has started up again for the season, meeting on the second Wednesday night of each month.

The venue for the bookclub will change each meeting as members take turns at organizing what we're reading and where we are meeting.

We have great mix of new and seasoned participants totaling 15. The enthusiasm at our first meeting will carry us through the next 7 months of winter as we trudge out once a month in all our winter gear and -40 to rage against the machine.

Please email MAW if you are in Ottawa and want to participate in the reading group. All mums are welcome!

Also send an email if you want to start up a local MAW-bookclub and need ideas on how to get and keep members interested (guilt or red wine work well). Someone from the Ottawa bookclub will get back to you.
