BEMIDJI 鈥� The Bemidji Senior Center will hold its monthly book club at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 7, in the conference room at the center, 216 Third St. NW.

Participants should come ready to discuss "Flags on the Bayou" by James Lee Burke, a release said.

The club will read "Women" by Kristen Hannah for its February meeting.

This fictionalized account tells the story of the brave nurses who served in Vietnam. While the soldiers who served and returned were often met with disregard and even disdain, the nurses who tended their wounds were virtually ignored and unacknowledged, the release said.

The club meets at 10 a.m. on the first Tuesday of the month, and is accepting new members.
