Who is Pam?
Besides being a very active participant with Wiser Health and Fitness, Pam Robles (pronounced Robe-less) is a retired humanities teacher who lived in Hawaii for 50 years. She has loved reading and talking about books since childhood.
Pam has now been hosting this Zoom meeting consistently for almost 4 years and the club is better than just "pretty good..."
