BROOKINGS, S.D. (Press Release) – SDSU Extension will host an online book club about retirement starting Sept. 1.

Smith, and will meet biweekly at 11 a.m. CST/10 a.m. MST through online Zoom sessions to discuss the book and its applications to their personal lives.
Book club sessions will be hosted by Leacey Brown, SDSU Extension Gerontology Field Specialist, and Jane Strommen, North Dakota State University Extension Gerontology Specialist.
