World Book Day Dinner this Coming Thursday

Friday, February 24th, 2017 | Shef Rogers | Comments Off on World Book Day Dinner this Coming Thursday

Our annual lecture and dinner for World Book Day will take place on Thursday, 2 March at 5:30, followed by a buffet dinner at the Staff Club.  Our speaker this year is David Eggleton, well-known reviewer and poet, speaking on “Landfall Days.”  The lecture will be held in Archway 2.  The dinner will follow immediately afterward with a cash bar and buffet.  The dinner costs $45 and payments by cash or cheque should be given to Donald Kerr in Special Collections.

Thanks to all who have already expressed an interest in the dinner.  It is always a fun occasion and we look forward to the usual raffles and scintillating conversation.
