Meeting location update!

 We’re going to be meeting in the 21 room this month, rather than the main hall at Drexel.  The door is just around the corner from the main entrance, on Linwood.

Also, there’s a performance in the main hall that day, if you’d like to see it,

“We will be having a performance of You'll See...May 27th at 4pm and 7:30 pm if any of your members would be interested in attending before or after your meeting that night! The play is an adaptation of Ulysses by James Joyce aimed at audiences 8 years old and up - it's truly so charming!”

Arriving at a Far Green Country - the inaugural Tolkien Society Westmoot, May 9-11 2025

by Elizabeth Perico So, it begins A little over a year ago, I met with what was to become the ‘Council of the West’, as we began discussing and planning the first ever Tolkien Society event in the USA, which became Westmoot. Today, it is already more than a month since the event took place, and I can truly say it met, and even exceeded all our hopes! What goes into holding a moot? When you attend one, especially the more established ones such as Oxonmoot or Mythmoot, they typically run like clockwork, and rarely do attendees see the rudders spinning furiously under the water. (Or at least you hope they don’t!) The more established events will normally have a regular venue, and vendors, and equipment that they are used to working with. For Westmoot, EVERYTHING was new! We did not have the budget to purchase A/V equipment, so the good Professor Olsen brought his own gear he used for Signum moots, and did much of the set up for recording presentations, showing slides, and making sure micr...

The Next Meeting of The Tolkien Society of Kansas City

The December party was a great success, with a White Oliphant exchange, and plenty of po-ta-toes and other appropriate delicacies.  Many thanks to Steve and Cindy for hosting! We took a break from our reading in TLOTR for the month of December, to discuss Letters to Father Christmas , so for January we're back on track, reading chapters IV - VI of the first half of The Two Towers .  We'll be meeting at Cardboard Corner once again, at 6:30 on January 28.  The address is 9240 Metcalf Ave, Overland Park, KS We're currently researching a new venue, since we've outgrown the 12-person limit for the Cardboard Corner rooms.  We've got some ideas that we'll be investigating this month.
