Join the Team Tony Book Club as we read Andy Andrews’ “The Traveler’s Gift”, the story of David Ponder, whose woes begin when he loses his job, his confidence and essentially his drive for living. After a succession of losses, including a car accident, David Ponder is magically transported into seven key points in history.

We will meet on March 18th from noon to 1 pm via Zoom! To RSVP, please email [email protected] or call (941) 227-4404 by March 15th.
