The Dickens Fellowship of New York
Meetings
All are welcome at our DFNY monthly meetings! Our Fellowship welcomes new members from all walks of life and at all levels of interest in the writings and philosophies of Charles Dickens.
DFNY meetings are held, via Zoom, from 1-4PM. All are welcome! For the link to connect to our Zoom meetings contact admin@dickensnewyork.com.
Our Fellowship invites you to read and discuss our current title, The Old Curiosity Shop, by Charles Dickens.
The format of our monthly reading sessions is as follows: The meeting begins promptly at 1PM, on the third Saturday of each month, with a welcoming and a few announcements. The meeting is then turned over to Mark Halperin, our Honorable Vice President and Discussion Moderator. DFNY members volunteer to give their excellent presentations, and the DFNY is most grateful for their professionalism and willingness to contribute. Each chapter, scheduled for a particular meeting, is presented by a different member of the DFNY, followed by Q&A discussions. We allow a 15-minute comfort break, midway through the chapter presentations. Upon conclusion of our reading session, the meeting is closed, promptly, by 4PM.
