Our next monthly meeting will be held on Friday, June 10th, from 3:00pm to 4:30pm. We will be discussing excerpts from the soon to be published book “Rationality Is… The Essence of Literary Theory” by our very own Norm Klassen.
We will be meeting at Newman House (329 Gordon Street, Guelph, parking off of Dean Avenue) with a BBQ to follow (meat, veggie and fish burgers on the menu).
