Let your next chapter begin with The Prologue Society.
THE PROLOGUE SOCIETY is a book club and not-for-profit organization in South Florida whose purpose is to encourage and foster interest in and understanding of the history and culture of all peoples and nations. Our motto is borrowed from The Tempest: "What's past is prologue." The Society, founded in 1992, hosts a minimum of six author events each season from October to April, with occasional special events in September and May. Members meet to listen to writers and historians of local, national, and international stature discuss their recent books. Each season brings a wide variety of topics that span time, geography, cultures and disciplines. Luncheons will be held at Temple Israel of Greater Miami for events through June, 2026, with free parking on site. |
