Patterned after the Royal Academy of the Arts, ASoIA is a vehicle for attaining fame in one's chosen field. Artists/Sculptors, Poets/Writers and Architects need a venue for displaying their works, and this is it. Only those devoted to their craft, the few with the energy required to attain the pinnacle of success are invited to join. "Not easy, not cheap, not attainable without hard work" is the group's motto, as is "the Best Art, always, no compromise."

This thematic book club idea originated in Durham, North Carolina and traveled to Mesa, Arizona once I moved to the desert.  This group reads two books a month. By the second Saturday of the month we have finished a “tie-in” book and movie and get together to watch the film and discuss both book and show afterwards.  Also, we have snacks brought by members that also coincide with something from the book.  If the movie is playing at the theater, we meet there.  If not, we meet at a group member's …

This group seeks to explore the field of philosophical thought through salon-style conversation. Literature will most commonly be considered as a point of departure for conversations, but we also consider the studies of our members and alternative media sources for our conversations. The foundation of conversation centers on proven argumentative methodologies, though, in the interest of educated questioning, we even question those methodologies. We do not restrict ourselves to purely "new age …

I love to read! But somehow my busy life just gets in my way. This book club is my little gift to myself. Lets pick a great book and commit to reading it every month and then get together to discuss! There's only one rule in this book club: NO DOWNERS!! I read for fun, not to be bummed out ;) Because this group is brand new, I'm still working a few things out: 1. I'm trying to get the use of the barn for the monthly meetup 2. If it's not the barn, I'll host it at my house and hopefully eventuall …

The Dickens Chicks book club is all about ladies reading Classic Literature. We have spent the last year building our literary muscles, so it seems a natural extension of this would be to see if the movies are as good as the books. With that in mind, we are starting a supplemental group to our book club: Dickens Chicks at the Movies. We will continue to read the Classics on the last Sunday of each month, but in between those readings, we'll meet again to watch the movies that go along with these …

Join us if you are interested in broadening your horizons. We'll be reading fiction one month and non-fiction the next.
