Women's Group
Through the month of July, in Women’s Group, we focused on our worth and what that means to us as individuals. We started by picking out several quotes that resemble us from inspirational women in history and putting each quote in a large “Worth Jar.” Now, at the beginning of every session, we pick a quote from the jar and read it aloud and discuss the meaning behind the quote and how we can relate it to our lives.

Threshold Book Club
In July, we started a book club at Threshold! Our first book of choice is The Twenty-One Balloons by William Pène du Bois. This book is about a Professor who wanted to fly across the Pacific Ocean in a balloon and was found crashed on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean with 20 balloons! We have had so much fun working our way through this book and coming up with conspiracies about how the professor made it all the way on the Atlantic coast with 19 more balloons than he started with.
