First book club meeting!

Thu, Jul 23, 11:00 PM
From TBR: Toronto Book Roundtable

Hello everyone! For the first TBR meeting, I want everyone to bring the book they think we should read for the month and create a short pitch explaining why. I want it to feel like a Shark Tank episode where everyone pitches their book! At the end of the meeting, we will vote for which book we would like to read for the month. I want this first meeting to be social and friendly. Bring your books and your pitches!

KEVPOP Poster Drop

KEVPOP Poster Drop

Sat, Jul 18, 3:00 PM
From KEVPOP Canada • 10K Art Lovers, Artists & Collectors
4.5

Something is about to appear in your city. A poster. Handmade. Hung somewhere a stranger might wander past and feel something good for a second. That stranger deserves it. So does your city. Here's the challenge: Make a poster. Draw it, paint it, print it, collage it - whatever feels like you. It can say something. It can say nothing. It just has to be the kind of thing that makes a stranger stop and smile. Need a prompt? Here are a few ideas: 🌥️ **MISSING: One Cloud** — Last seen drifting over your neighborhood around 3pm. Slightly dramatic. Very fluffy. If found, please just look at it for a moment. No reward. That's the reward. 👤 **FREE FRIEND** — Great listener. Occasionally funny. Will show up when you need them. No experience required. First come, first served. Call no one. Just be one. 💌 **DEAR STRANGER** — Today seemed like a good day to tell you: you're doing better than you think. Or make something completely your own. We just ask to make it family-friendly and joyful. **Then:** * Hang it somewhere public * Photograph it in the wild * Post it and tag **@KEVPOP** with **#KEVPOPPosterDrop** *If you want, you can write kevpop.com on the poster.* We're 10,000+ members across the Midwest, South, and Canada. Imagine what 10,000 little moments of joy look like hung around the world at the same time. Document it. Share it. Make it weird. Make it sweet. Make it yours. **This is free. This is for everyone. This is just for fun.** *KEVPOP is a joy brand. We make people smile.*
