The AV Rotary Book Bandits will attack again at 6pm on Weds Sep 9 to discuss “Theo of Golden” by Allen Levi -- as recommended by our own Merv “Manuscript Master” Nordstorm!
Location TBD.
 Theo of Golden by Allen Levi is a bestselling novel about a mysterious, elderly man named Theo who arrives in the small Southern city of Golden, Georgia, and begins buying pencil portraits from a local coffee shop to give back to the people depicted, asking only for their stories in return. The book is a heartwarming, character-driven story about kindness, connection, and seeing the good in others, exploring themes of generosity, forgiveness, and the human condition through Theo's anonymous acts. It has become a word-of-mouth hit, praised for its emotional depth, relatable characters, and uplifting message.
Get a copy, read/listen over a leisurely summer, and join us on September 9.

Walk Across America
Oct. 14, 2026
Erin Dietrich and her husband, Chris Rea, are a Minnesota couple who walked across the United States in 2021 to support the Ann Bancroft Foundation. They began in Cape Henlopen, Delaware, on March 3, 2021, and trekked across the country. Instead of traditional backpacks, they pushed strollers loaded with supplies. Erin's mother, Linnea Dietrich, joined them for the first 800 miles of the hike across the Appalachian Mountains. The trio relied on the kindness of strangers, frequently sleeping in tents, breweries, behind churches, in barns, and in the wide open desert. The massive undertaking caught national attention for its endurance and the couple's dedication to mentoring and empowering girls |
