Between the Lines is our quarterly book club that meets on Wednesdays. 

This year the group is reading The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, which tells a riveting story about the life of Henrietta Lacks and her family and the “untold story of how her cells were taken without her knowledge and have become one the most important tools in medicine”.

Here is more information about Between the Lines book club.

There will be a College Council Meeting on Tuesday, April 15, in the boardroom at 2 p.m.

There are two screenings of a Chinese film entitled “Beijing Meets Seattle” or “Finding Mr. Right” scheduled in the SCC theater for April 16, once at noon and the second at 6:15 p.m.

The film runs for 2 hours and there will be a 45 minute discussion to follow.  While the film is rather mainstream in broad themes, it also addresses some controversial issues in today’s China, and those will be part of the discussion that follows.

The film has English and Mandarin with the Mandarin sections being subtitled in English (not Dubbed).
