Our speaker will be a member of the Little Traverse Bay Beekeepers Guild. Bees don't just buzz around flowers - they are the backbone of our food systems, ecosystems, and economic and food systems. Keeping bees in Northern Michigan is a bit challenging with our shorter summer season and changing weather. We will discuss how bees manage to perform their magical work.

In place of our July meeting, we will travel to Elk Rapids to visit the gardens on their 2026 Garden Walk. 

Please join us for the next meeting of our book group in the Charlevoix Public Library Trustees Conference Room. Exact date to be determined. We will be discussing The Moonlight Gardening Club by Rosie Hannigan. 

Though they come from the same small Irish village, lonely widow Ruby and struggling single mother Frankie couldn’t be more different. Then they discover the Moonlight Gardening Club, founded to remind its members that even on the darkest of nights, beauty and light can still be found.
