Invitation from OLLI Book Club for Author Lynn Cullen Presentation
OLLI’s Next Chapter book club invites OLLI at Emory current members to a FREE OLLI presentation by author Lynn Cullen on, Wednesday, August 16th 11:15-12:45. Registration is required, because there are limited seats in the classroom. Lynn is a successful author of seven novels, she will discuss her most recent historical fiction, “The Woman with the Cure”.  It was just released this past February.  You have heard of Dr. Salk; you have heard of Dr. Sabin…now you will learn about Dr. Dorothy Horstmann who was denied recognition as a devoted researcher in discovering the cure for polio. This is such an enlightening book about that time period.
 
Next Chapter is one of four book clubs offered through OLLI.  We meet every second Friday 1:00-2:30pm, in the classroom only.  We have men and women participating.  Books we look forward to reading and discussing in the Fall are: “Hello Beautiful”, “When Breath Becomes Air”, “Slow Horses”, “Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow” and “Demon Copperhead”.  If you think you might be interested in joining one of the book clubs, please reach out to the OLLI Office.
