The Bissell Book Club


If you have questions or would like to join, contact Arlene Grace


Open to all Bissell employees, the club meets bi-weekly on Monday mornings at 7:30 am in Gallery Restaurant (Ballantyne Hotel). Enjoy a complimentary breakfast as you discuss the reading assignments, posted in advance on this webpage. Bring with you the top take-a-way you had from the assignment, a favorite quote, or a comment to briefly share with the group.

Books are suggested by the members of the Book Club after first being previewed by two or three members.

Purchased by Mr. Bissell, the books are to be kept by the employee. The books are distributed by Arlene Grace of Bissell in advance of the assignments.

The only requirements for joining the Book Club are to read the book, attend the meetings to discuss your valued thoughts, and enjoy the chance to spend time with others as they practice Franchise Trait #2, Continuous Learner.
