Bedfordshire Book Group decided to "adopt" a local worthy cause and selected Orchard House, the Concord MA home of Louisa May Alcott, where she wrote Little Women. Orchard House,which has been a museum since 1911, seemed especially appropriate because of its connection to books and reading, and because the house has been in dire need of funds recently due to a major reconstruction effort.

At each meeting we collect a donation from our members, which we pass along to Orchard House.
