Welcome to the Lemmings Book Club. We are a group of women (and men) who were either born a Wentz, married a Wentz, or know a Wentz (and isn't our life better for it!?). We meet every 2 months and enjoy talking about all kinds of books.
We are currently reading Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen. Our next meeting will be a book and movie meeting on February 13 from 1-5 p.m. in Rochester.
