Not Quite the Ides of March

March 12, 2003

Afternoon Free Reception For All Members and their Partners

No, we are not gathering to commemorate Julius Caesar's assassination (as shown on left) at the hands of Marcus Brutus and several others. 

We are gathering to enjoy one another's company, to hail the coming of spring, and to express pleasure at having – once again – pretty much escaped winter in the lower mainland. 

Togas permitted, but not required.
