Thank you so much to everyone who came out to our board game & tea fundraiser at the U of C last Thursday! We had great attendance and managed to raise $115.80 towards Kleos MFG, a great non-profit that will use the money to support sustainable development and women's scholarship. A huge thank you to Kleos for helping us arrange this awesome event!

The Literacy Society has partnered with Kleos, a non-profit organization that is working to raise scholarship money for women in foreign countries. We are hosting a fun night of board games, tea, and delicious snacks to help them meet their current goal of raising $900 towards this cause. Admission is by donation and all proceeds go towards Kleos. Bring as many friends as you can! Please fill out the Google form in our bio if you would like to bring a board game - every game you bring counts as 1 CCR (volunteer hour) from our club!
