MAWHCC Community Events
MAWHCC Community Book Club
The MAWHCC Book Club is open to the public, so anyone who is curious about or has affection for Hawaiian culture will find a home here.
In general, the reading selections are about Hawai'i or by Hawaiian authors. Many readers enjoy historical fiction, which is a relaxing and enjoyable way to soak up the essence of a culture while absorbing some of its origins and major influences. Some books may be of more general interest.
Books are selected by members and the club meets for an hour on the fourth Wednesday of the month at 7 pm PST.
The folks who make up the membership are the main draw. A microcosm of Hawaiian society, they are warm and interesting and fun to spend time with.
Our group discussion is virtual via Google Meet. An invitation will be sent to everyone in the book club mailing list. If you are interested in being a part of the club, just let us know at Bookclub@mawhcc.org. Meetings are open to non-members. If you have friends who might be interested, please share this information with them.
