Ever wondered how a hobby becomes a book? The Fair Oaks Rotary Club will be hosting a conversation led by local author and outdoor enthusiast Ashley Shult Langdon on her journey to publishing her first book. What began during the pandemic as a way to keep her preschool-aged boys from climbing out the windows, soon turned into daily discoveries along the Lower American River. After a few years of exploring, a year of writing, and another in book design, this journey and the book has drawn the attention of local educators, organizations, and community members alike.

Members gather weekly on Monday evenings, but all are welcome to attend these gatherings!

Copies of Mildly Scenic: A Trail Guide to Sacramento’s Lower American River as well as some mildly useful merch will be available for purchase.
