The third installment of this year's Hiker’s Virtual Book Club is Annapurna: A Woman's Place by Arlene Blum. In 1978 a group of thirteen women left the United States and headed for the Himalayas in an attempt to become the first Americans and first women to climb Annapurna I, the tenth highest mountain in the world. At a time when no one thought that they could do it, this group of women overcame numerous obstacles in their attempt to prove to the world that women were capable of climbing the highest mountains in the world. Come and join us!

If you haven’t used Zoom before, you’ll be prompted to install the client software when you click on the link. Depending upon the device you are using (laptop, Mac, tablet, smart phone, etc.) the install will vary, so please pay attention. Depending upon the device you use, you could encounter problems with Zoom, so I won’t make any promises about how well your experience will be. You might want to have an alternate device to use if the first one proves not to work well with Zoom. Try connecting to the meeting a short time before it starts to confirm that you don't have any issues.

If you aren't familiar with Zoom, you might want to check out the following Youtube video: "How to Zoom" Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnFSBjFvK2o

When the session starts please use good phone etiquette. There will be up to twenty of us and only one conversation. Please be patient. Everyone will have a chance to speak. When not speaking, you might want to mute yourself.

Feel free to consume your favorite beverage, alcoholic or not, during the event. Put on your comfy pants, relax and talk about something other than the coronavirus for a while!
