The Manly Hall Reading Group

The Reading Group hosted by Amanda Brass

Every Tuesday 7:30 - 9:30 pm in the Bookstore

PRS is now the home of a weekly reading group focused solely on the works of Manly Hall!

Participation is strictly voluntary and there is no "homework” or any prerequisite to attend. Beginners welcome. The group gathers in the seating area of the PRS bookstore; extra seating is always available, including ADA accommodations.

Copies of the reading material are available to buy in the store, or if you can't commit, ask Amanda to lend you a copy for the evening. A short intermission happens at the halfway point and tea and refreshments are available throughout .

This event runs on donations, but if you can’t donate every time, you're still welcome.
