The GECO book clubs meet monthly at a member’s home.  There are two different book clubs to chose from;

The Literary book club which focuses on learning through works of non-fiction and historical fiction. (Current Flyer)

 The Parenting book club which selects its topics based on current literature dealing with issues around raising gifted children. (Current Flyer)

This is a great opportunity to get to know other parents with gifted kids and discuss topics in our world today and in history. For a list of the books selected by club for 2009-2010, see below.  We are always interested in new suggestions.
