CALEDON CARNTAIGH:  
“Jellicle Cats come out to-night
Jellicle Cats come one come all
The Jellicle Moon is shining bright
Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball.”

A Jellicle Ball is being held on Saturday, April 26 from 3-6 pm SLT at Coughton Court in Caledon Cartaigh .  It is being sponsored by the Caledon Library Benefactors with music by DJ Gabrielle Riel.

Dress is feline, furry, neko, tiny feline or formal black and white.

Catgirl Kiralette Kelley meowed “I’m really looking forward to it.”  

Neko Emilly Orr will be attending as well as hosting the event, as she works with Radio Riel. 

 “The only thing I know for sure, so far,” Orr purred, “is there will be recordings of T.S. Elliot’s poems done by Radio Riel staff – our DJs – so I’m quite looking forward to that.”

Sunday, April 27 from 2-4 pm SLT the Book of the Month group will discuss “Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats” by T.S. Elliot.  This discussion will be held at the Jack and Elaine Whitehorn Memorial Library in Caledon Victoria City (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Caledon%20VictoriaCity/59/196/23 ).

Poems from this book were the inspiration for the musical “Cats.”  Elliot’s cat poems were originally composed to amuse his friends and capture the essence of cat behavior accurately. This work shows Elliot in a more playful mood, in contrast to the high seriousness that characterizes his other works of the early 20th century.

Everyone is invited to attend in their furred, tailed and whiskered best.

An exhibit of Elliot’s “Practical Cats” will be on display at the Whitehorn Library and the New Toulouse Library for the entire month of April.

Direct questions about either event to JJ Drinkwater, Caledon Library.
