Comic Book Collecting Toronto

First book club meeting!

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!

Silent Bookclub Meeting #81 (Bookstore Crawl and Riverdale Park)

The next event will be a two parter, bringing back a fan favourite! On Sunday July 19, we will be doing our second Bookstore Crawl (think pub crawl but for books)! We'll meet in the East End (location TBD) and then visit a few bookstores before finally ending at Riverdale Park for our regular Silent Book Club event. Please RSVP if you're planning on coming so we can plan appropriately! To help cover the costs of meetup fees, we will be taking optional donations for this event. If you're inclined to, feel free to send any amount you're comfortable with to harresh.s@hotmail.com, or bring cash to the event. Please note that this is entirely optional and not required to join the event! All proceeds will go towards fees for this event and future events, as well as meetup fees.

Avengers’ Saturday Cafe for the Homeless

Note: You may be removed from the attendance list if you've participated in the previous week's event. This allows for more people to experience this Meetup. Avengers put your costumes on and let’s go and save the world!
Well we can’t save the world (yet), but we aim to try to play a small part in the lives of those experiencing homelessness by making their day a bit better!
Description: Before the event the organizer will post a list in the comment section of the attendees and what they are responsible to bring (food/drink, kitchen supplies, cleaning supplies). We normally ask each attending member to bring approximately $15-20 worth of ingredients/supplies to our event. We will use the items to prepare and serve food/drink at The Meeting Place.
Timeline: We will meet on location at 11:00 am, with lunch served between 12:30-1:00 pm.
Membership Dues: Membership dues are $2.00 for the calendar year. Membership dues go towards paying for food/supplies incurred by no-shows. Membership dues are due at the first meetup of the year that you attend.
No Shows/Late Un-RSVP: We’re relying on members who RSVP to bring key ingredients for recipes! Please try your best to show-up or alternatively change your RSVP early so another member may fill the empty spot.
\*\*\* If you are on the waitlist, keep checking as you may be moved into attendance to replace someone. We will try to message you to confirm your attendance in advance.
Donations will be assigned before the event.

KEVPOP Poster Drop

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.*
