The SOMOS book discussion group meets the first Tuesday of every month (with the exception of July and August) from 6:30 – 8:00 p.m. at the SOMOS office on Paseo del Pueblo Sur (next to the Enchanted Florist).  Book selections are based upon the genre we are currently reading (currently – memoirs) and each discussion is facilitated by someone who has emailed discussion questions at least a week before the meeting and has prepared pertinent information re:  the author – bio, publications, family history, etc.  Email or call Jan Smith, 575-770-9047, jms@intuitcounselingservices.com for further information.  All opinions welcome!
