Our Events

While recent past events were luncheons held on the Coral Gables campus of University of Miami, for the foreseeable future, our events will be held online via the Crowdcast platform. These will be members-only events.

Current 2020-2021 Prologue members will receive a copy of the featured book, mailed to their home address at no extra charge, as a part of their membership benefits.
