Anticipatory Celebration of the Ides of March

March 11, 2009

Time: 2:00PM–4:00PM

Not Quite the Ides of March
Annual Spring Reception

No, we are not gathering to commemorate Julius Caesar's assassination (as shown here) 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 this year survived an atypical winter in the lower mainland.

Togas permitted, but not required.
