Where, When, How?

May 4

BOOK CLUB

The BLGC BOOK CLUB hosted by our amazing Sergeant at Arms, Brandy next hang out is taking place, at 7pm on May 4.⁠ Reminder to only read up the page  208!! No spoilers allowed here!

⁠

Our book for this BOOK CLUB is Everyone Knows Your Mother Is a Witch by Rivka Galchen. This is Rivka Galchen's second novel, which she again writes with sly humour and intellectual fire. Drawing on real historical documents, she weaves a tale that will both provoke and entertain. The story begins in 1618, plague is spreading and thirty-year war has begun. An illiterate widow, known for her herbal medicines is accused of being a witch. This bold novel highlights a society and a family undone by superstition, the state, and the mortal convulsions of history.  


We’ll be discussing Rivka Galchen, the historical context of Everyone Knows Your Mother Is a Witch and touching base on the first couple of pages. However, if you’re unable to get your hands on a copy before the 16th, that’s ok!! 


If you’re in Calgary, we’ve teamed up with the amazing folks at Shelf Life Books to offer a special discount to our BOOK CLUB members! Head to Shelf Life Books to pick up Everyone Knows Your Mother is a Witch, let them know that you are a part of the BLGC BOOK CLUB and you’ll get 10% off. Everyone Knows Your Mother is a Witch is also available at the Calgary Public Library.   


**CONTENT WARNINGS: Violence against women, social norms of the 1600’s, white privilege, male privilege, class privileges ** ⁠ ⁠

Annual General Meeting

Because the #BLGC is a registered society, we get to host an Annual General Meeting for all our members every year. This is the chance for us to vote on things like our Board of Directors and different motions as well as present the #blgc’s financial statements and forecast for the coming year. 


The BLGC AGM will be held on May 14th from 6 pm-8 pm MST on Zoom. To vote at the AGM you MUST be a registered member with the BLGC. You can sign up to be a member by clicking the button below. For folks who are already members, you are able to vote at the AGM but will have to renew your membership during the month of May if you applied for your membership before March 1st, 2022.

PILSC Legacy Walk/Run - Sign Up

One of our babes founded the Calgary Pregnancy and Infant Loss Support Centre (PILSC) and they are hosting the very first ANNUAL PILSC Legacy Run/Walk on June 12th, 2022! Of course we love to support our babes so the BLGC is putting together a team to participate! 


Here's the deal: there are two distances that we can choose from, 2k and 5k. You can either run or walk and we'll support whatever accessibility needs that are raised to us. If you aren't in Calgary, there is an option for a virtual run... so don't let that deter you! 


The PILSC's goal is $60,000 and the BLGC would like to raise $1,500 so we will be doing some fundraising around this event as well!! The cost for entry is $40/person, which will go toward the organization of the event. If finances are a barrier, please DM us or send an email to president@boringlittlegirlsclub.ca. Funds raised after that will go to support the amazing and critical work that the PILSC is doing. 


To sign up click the button below and you will be contacted with more information!
