Journeys Program

Cozy Connections Book Club (Virtual)
2025-11-03 19:00 - 2026-02-16 19:00 (America/Chicago) | WI
Registration for this event is required on Eventbrite.

Gather your people, brew some tea, and crack open a good book because connection starts with a story. The Wisconsin Family Connections Center now has book club kits ready to help individuals come together, laugh, learn, and feel less alone. Whether you are a foster, adoptive, or kinship caregiver – this group is for you!
Please join us for a series of relaxed evenings (virtual) to share reflections, connections, and conversations as we read through: Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate.
This online book club will meet every other Monday at 7pm, starting Monday, November 3rd, 2025.
When you register, please be sure to fill out your most recent contact information as the book kits will be shipped directly to your home. We kindly ask any books sent by the Wisconsin Family Connections Center be returned after reading. If you already have a copy of this book or have access to a copy through your local library, please indicate that when you register.
Once this group finishes the current book, the group will help select the next read.
For any questions or concerns regarding this online book club, please contact Megan at mmiller@cclse.org.

This event is limited to Wisconsin residents impacted by adoption or out-of-home care and their immediate household.
