Please join us on Monday, March 27, at 7:30, at Ann Marie Pirnat’s home (2150 Meadowmont Dr) for March’s book club meeting to discuss Martha Hall Kelly’s novel Lilac Girls. Even if (or perhaps especially if) the last thing you read was Good Night, Moon, please come for the laughter, food and drinks. I know this has been written often, but if you don’t have time to read the book please come anyway. Reading the book may be an easy way to create a common connection, but forming friendships certainly doesn’t involve required reading.

Saturday, March 18, 6 p.m.
Church Brew Works
Pittsburgh Brewery & Restaurant in an Historic Church
3525 Liberty Avenue
Pittsburgh, PA 15201
Here’s the story… none of the local brewpubs will take reservations but one: Church Brew Works, which is a very cool old Catholic church built in 1902 restored and repurposed as a restaurant and brewpub. Check it out!
We can visit, look around and have a drink before it gets crowded. Hope you and your honey can make it!

You’ll be glad you came!
