April 29th Meeting: Jane Austen Day!
We have an action-packed program for the next meeting including a catered lunch. Our speakers will be David Lank who will talk about and display his mother Edith Lank’s wonderful collection of Jane Austen memorabilia, our own Megan Hanet who will read her prize-winning essay entitled “The Five-Factor Model of Personality Applied to Elinor and Marianne Dashwood”, and Adele Marsland, who is a musicology graduate student at UBC with familiarity and interest in music during the long eighteenth century, and also a big fan of Jane Austen. It promises to be an exciting and interesting program for this special day.
