My Words, written by Nancy E. Turner.

Fans of the book, and reading in general, will gather May 4 as the Arboretum launches a new book club for all who enjoy reading, history, and the Sonoran Desert. The book club will meet May 4 (Saturday) at 2:00 p.m. in the lecture room of the historic Smith Building; book club attendance is free if you’re a BTA member or hold an annual state parks pass; included with $9 daily admission for those who don’t. What does the future hold for this informal club of literature-
lovers? Johnson hopes to arrange visits and readings by Arizona authors – and provide interesting refreshments (a jug of prickly pear lemonade is likely at the debut!) shared by participants. Want more info, or to RSVP as a book club attendee? Email Vicki at BTABookClub@msn.com, or call her at 480.688.3342.
