Bemidji Senior Center schedules book club and memoir writing class
Bemidji seniors will have two chances to connect July 7, with a 10 a.m. book club and a 1 p.m. memoir class at 216 3rd St. NW.
The Bemidji Senior Center will pair a book club discussion with a memoir writing class on Tuesday, July 7, at 216 3rd St. NW in Bemidji. The book club is set for 10 a.m., followed by Sue Bruns’ Capturing Your Memories class at 1 p.m.
The book group will discuss Rachel Joyce’s Miss Benson’s Beetle, a 2020 novel published in the United States by Penguin Random House. Joyce is the author of international bestsellers whose books have been translated into 37 languages. The novel is set in postwar Britain and New Caledonia, with a storyline built around adventure and an unlikely friendship between two women who start out as opposites. The book won the Wilbur Smith Adventure Writing Prize in 2021.
Sue Bruns is a monthly Generations columnist and occasional feature writer, as well as a local historian, former Bemidji High School assistant principal and former adjunct professor at Bemidji State University.

The senior center’s book club meets on the first Tuesday of each month at 10 a.m. and is open to all, with no age restriction for membership.
The center’s hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and it serves Beltrami County. It lists a $5 donation for senior meals and $8.75 for people younger than 60, along with activities that include games, music, movies, handcrafter meetings, blood pressure checks, fitness programs, tax help, meal service and a driver safety program.
