Enter our door prize raffle and win one of two year-long LACA memberships or one of three LACA tees. The reception is open to the public and admission is free (donations accepted).

Spoken Word:
Thursday, December 13, 7–9 PM

First launched in the summer of 2005, LACA's "evening of spoken word" events have really been a hit—so much so, in fact, that they have now become a monthly event. LACA has moved their location to Crackskull's Book Store on Main Street in Newmarket, where participants and audience meet on the second Thursday of each month to enjoy a wonderful evening of poetry crafted by local wordsmiths. The Spoken Word event is open to the public and admission is free (donations accepted). Interested in sharing your work? Contact Arlon for more info, or to get signed up in advance.
