Thank you for joining us!
We are so grateful for your participation in our Curious Conversations event, featuring Mónica Guzmán and Erin Jones. Nearly 300 members of our community, including participants of our inaugural Community Book Club series, gathered together at venues in Spokane, Colville, Moscow and Sandpoint.
For Community Book Club members, the event was a culmination of the discussions and insights sparked by Mónica and Erin’s thought-provoking books that show how we can all encourage civility in divided times. Thank you for so generously offering your time, voice and perspective to engage in bridge-building conversations in book clubs and during our events this spring. We hope your connection to community was strengthened by new insight and tools for future curious conversations!
