Book Group Meeting - Saturday October 12 - Free Thinkers - Jefferson Humanists

Join FROG, the Free thinkers Reading Opportunity Group, for the Saturday October 12 book group meeting from 2-3:30 PM.

This month we'll be discussing "Secondhand: Travels in the New Global Garage Sale" by Adam Minter.

Adapted from Goodreads:
When you drop a box of unwanted items off at the local thrift store, where do they go? Probably across the country--or even halfway across the world--to people and places eager to reuse what you don’t want. In Secondhand, Minter delves into the vast, multibillion-dollar industry that resells used stuff around the world. He follows the trail of unwanted objects from the closets, garages, and storage units of Middle America to huge used-goods markets in Canada, Mexico, Japan, Ghana, India, Malaysia, and beyond.

Location: We are meeting at the Mills Building. The Mills Building is a separate building behind the Jefferson Unitarian Church (no affiliation), at 14350 W. 32nd Ave. Enter the parking lot and head to the back left (southeast) corner of the lot. Use the walkway between the church and the Mills Bldg to enter the Mills Bldg (on your left), and walk straight down the hallway to our room.
