All are welcome but because of the popularity of this group pre-registration to attend is required.

The River House Book Club meets once a month to discuss a pre-chosen book. The chosen book for January's meeting is The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson.

The facilitator for this group is Peter Gaspar.

This group will meet on Wednesday, January 7 from 2 to 3:30 at River House (179 Marine St.)

For ages 18 and up.

This class looks at the life, career, and songs of Irving Berlin (1888-1989). For over five decades, Berlin wrote songs for Broadway, Tin Pan Alley, and the movies and many of those songs are still part of the American consciousness. The class is part-lecture, part- listening to outstanding recordings of Berlin songs.

Thomas Hischak is a retired Professor of Performing Arts from the State University of New York College at Cortland. He is the author of over thirty books on theatre, film, and popular music. 

Class sessions will meet on Thursdays, January 15, 22, 29 (No class sessions Jan. 1 & 8)  from 10 to 11:15 at River House (179 Marine St. in St. Augustine)

For ages 18 and up.
