Welcome, gentle readers!
The JASNA Northern California group meets quarterly in the Bay Area to share a love of Jane Austen through book discussions, talks on her life and times, and conversations about the world she captured so vividly. Meetings are open to the public and free (except for special events like our December gala), and our community includes everyone from researchers to devoted fans of Austen’s novels and adaptations. To join our regional group, simply become a member of JASNA at the national level and enjoy invitations to events and the chance to connect with fellow Janeites.
