The Master and Margarita – Mikhail Bulgakov
Hosted By Sci Fi Book Club
This is a monthly book club for sci fi/fantasy fans of all ages and genders. Willing members take it in turns to recommend a sci fi/fantasy book and host discussions at the relevant monthly meet ups. Face to face meetings used to take place in Fort Myers, FL, but since the pandemic, meetings have been over Zoom, which has enabled members from more distant areas to join, and so meetings will remain virtual for the moment. Even if you haven’t had time to read all or any of a book, you’re still very welcome to attend! As well as having some animated discussions about our favourite (and maybe least favourite) books, this is also a great opportunity to socialise with like-minded sci fi fans!

St. Herman Youth Conference
Toronto Canada
St. Herman Youth Conference is an annual event for Orthodox Christians ages 16+
The annual conference began in 1979 at Holy Trinity Monastery in Jordanville, NY. It was a continuation of the former St. Vladimir Youth Circles founded by Archbishop Averky of Syracuse and Holy Trinity. Seeing that youth of the Church were enjoying a winter vacation from their education awaiting the celebration of Orthodox Christmas, a wonderful opportunity presented itself to host a gathering for spiritual growth and fellowship.
