Last month, David and I had the privilege of being guest-speakers for the Kingsway Women’s Club’s first session of its 2025-26 season and its 90th year in existence.
The Club, founded by a small group of Toronto women, moved locations over the years: originally meeting in local homes; then, for many years, in the Print Room of the “Old Mill Gardens”; and now in the Markland Wood Golf Club. Throughout these changes in venue, the constant has been the club’s steadfast focus on cultural enrichment and camaraderie via its monthly lecture series, book clubs, and interest-based events.
Our presentation, of our year-long adventure on the high seas that led to my memoir, Ready to Come About (Dundurn Press), was well received – that is, from the comfort and safety of the warm, dry, still conference room 😊. Check out their website for a recap of our October 17th event. What’s more, I was told, just yesterday, their book club is now reading my memoir. So, yey!
