The Nisswa Women’s Club will meet at 11 a.m. Thursday, March 18, and will try something new with a discussion of the book "Happiness," by Aminatta Forna.

The book follows the journeys of an American scientist studying the habits of urban foxes and a Ghanaian psychologist searching for the child of a friend as their paths intersect and connect them on the streets of London.

Ann Swanson, former secondary school educator and current school consultant, will lead this discussion online via Zoom. Small and large group discussions will be part of the program.

The book is available at the Brainerd Public Library or online at Hoopla.

Margo Neva will offer the inspiration. Karen DeVries, president, will lead a short business meeting before the book discussion. Guests are welcome.

Contact Claudia Allene at 218-513-8922 for information. Additional club information is available at www.nisswawomensclub.org or on Facebook.
