Russell County Economic Development and CVB Invites You to a Community Book Club

Russell County Economic Development and CVB in partnership with the Dane G. Hansen Foundation and Russell Specialty Books and Gifts invite you to a Community Book Club featuring 13 Ways to Kill Your Community by Doug Griffiths, MBA.

The Community Book Club is a five week program that will be held at Espresso, Etc. every Monday from March 14 through April 11 in Russell over the lunch hour from Noon to 12:45. Lunch will be available to order during the book club meetings. The goal of this program is to address community issues by using the book 13 Ways to Kill Your Community to jump start conversations regarding change and progress within the community. The first meeting will focus on the introduction of the book and the structure of the book club, trying to make the club work for the participants.

Interested? Register via phone by calling the Russell County Economic Development and CVB office at 785-483-4000 or by emailing receptionist@russellks.net. 13 Ways to Kill Your Community can be purchased at the discounted price of $18.99 at Russell Specialty Books and Gifts.

"Some communities thrive and grow while others die offering no hope for future generations. 13 Ways to Kill Your Community provides the tools to choose either option for your community. If you only read one book on rural economic development, this is the one! Even the most successful communities can improve and change for the better," said John Ponikvar of Craig, Colorado.
