About Book Club
AG & AG Book Club is a way for members to grow intellectually in areas of self-defense, mindset, marksmanship, preparedness, confidence, and more. The Book Club serves as a community in which to participate virtually from your own home for a casual gathering to discuss relevant topics with like-minded women.
Book Club meetings are on the last Thursdays of every month at 6pm Central Time. Occasionally, Book Club will be rescheduled when the last Thursday conflicts with a major holiday, such as Thanksgiving, so watch for announcements.
