LITERARY KALEIDOSCOPE, FALL 2024:  OUR GRAND FINALE

 Literary Kaleidoscope has been running for thirty years. Over that time we grew from a small group who met in the Pioneers Lodge to the hundred-plus gatherings in the Marda Loop Community Centre. We have presented well over 200 books (most of them excellent), recruited almost as many speakers (most of them engaging), and served countless gallons of passable coffee and thousands of undistinguished cookies.

With your support we have also distributed more than $100,000 in scholarships to University of Calgary and Mount Royal University English students.

Thirty years is a good run, and it is your support and enthusiasm that has kept us going.  But our costs have risen significantly in recent years, and, like many, many other organisations, Covid had an impact on us.  We have not bounced back to our pre-Covid numbers. Those factors have impacted our scholarship donations and our ability to cover our expenses.  We are ready to retire.

This Fall program will be our last, and we thank you all for helping us go out on a high note. 

Please stay tuned for updates on future plans.
