2026 Holiday Party and Book Club: Murder at the Grand Alpine Hotel by Lucy Foley

Let's celebrate the holiday season with a party and book discussion at East Rock Brewing Company! We'll have space reserved for our group.

I will order pizzas, and feel free to bring a side or dessert to share. Drinks will be available for purchase.
