This special event honours the powerful legacy of Marsha Ellen Meidow, a tireless champion for young women and girls whose voice reshaped her community through advocacy, compassion, and action. In 2007, Marsha was recognized with the YWCA Humanitarian of the Year Award for her unwavering dedication to uplifting others.
Now in 2026, her spirit continues to shine through this meaningful gathering. I Want to Hear Your Voice celebrates Marsha’s lifelong mission by raising funds for the selected charities of Reign 49 of the Imperial Sovereign Court of the Chinook Arch - all causes close to her heart and aligned with the work she fiercely believed in.
Tickets are just $10, and every dollar raised goes directly toward supporting these vital charities. Join us in keeping Marsha’s voice alive through community, remembrance, and purpose.

Prairie Faery Gala is a playful, elegant evening celebrating queer artistry, imagination, and community, taking place Saturday, March 21, at the Westin Downtown Calgary during the Fierté Canada Pride Conference. Sparkle. Pop. Glamour and a little wink of mischief. Prairie Faery Gala invites the community from near and far to a magical night where music, drag, and burlesque celebrate the many sides that make up this vibrant community in a warm, welcoming space. Express yourself. Dress how you feel at this queer-soaked event. Guests can choose between two ticket options. The $80 seated ticket includes a full sit-down dinner and an unforgettable evening of live performances. A limited number of $30 standing-room tickets are also available for those who would like to attend the show without the dinner service. Tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/prairie-faery-gala-tickets-1984136638096?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true Cocktails begin at 6:30 PM, making room for folks to mingle and make friends, with doors opening at 7:00 PM as guests move into the ballroom. Dinner guests will enjoy a beautifully prepared meal followed by the show, while standing-room guests will join the celebration as the performances begin. Live music performances from Terez, known for her soulful vocals and genre-blending sound, and Robert Adams, whose warm, groove-driven style adds depth and rhythm to the night. Together, they create an elevated, joyful experience that is irresistibly fun. The evening will be led by the star power combo of Karla Marx and El Rey del Sol, each celebrated for their charisma, humour, awareness, energy, and love for their audience. Be fabulously, undeniably you. This is Prairie Faery magic.
Our book this month is "all about love: new visions" by bell hooks - a non-fiction book that explores the concept of love from different perspectives of culture, society, and transformation. At this meeting we will talk about the book in its entirety. (If you don’t read the book, you’re still welcome to join and participate in the conversation - just be aware that you might hear some spoilers.)
Please RSVP here: https://www.abacesandaros.ca/event-details-registration/book-club-18
We will email you the online meeting link an hour before Book Club starts, so that it's at the top of your inbox.
Everyone is welcome to join us, whether you’re a-spec yourself, or interested in reading books with a-spec characters/themes. This is a "no obligations Book Club" and you are always welcome whether you read the book or not (just be aware there may be some spoilers). We usually hold meetings every 4-6 weeks, depending on the book chosen and its availability at libraries across Alberta. Feel free to bring suggestions for what we should read next!
Let us know if you have any questions (email: ABAcesandAros@gmail.com).
Made with love by
