Heron Bay at Badin Lake, NC

An almost perfect coexistence with nature...

The Heron Bay Book Club meets on the third Tuesday of each month at 7pm in the Heron Bay Clubhouse.  

At each meeting, attendees discuss a selected book with a facilitator leading the conversation and a hostess providing refreshments. 

Even if you aren't able to read the book selection for the month, you are welcome to attend for the camaraderie, refreshments, and experience of the evening.  You are sure to enjoy meeting someone new, gaining book recommendations, and learning more about the upcoming plans of the club.

If you have questions or want to learn more, please contact this year's book club leader, Donna Cook at sunsetbeach04@gmail.com.

The Heron Bay Book Club was formed in September 2001.  Below is a complete list of every book read.  Enjoy!
