Summer Solstice Celebration
Tuesday June 20
Patio at the Faculty Club

The timing of the solstice depends on when the Sun reaches its northernmost point from the equator. The word solstice is from the Latin solstitium, from sol (sun) and stitium (to stop), reflecting the fact that the Sun appears to stop at this time. In temperate regions, we notice that the Sun is higher in the sky throughout the day, and its rays strike Earth at a more direct angle, causing the efficient warming we call summer.

This summer solstice is the day with the most hours of sunlight during the whole year and this is the day we meet on the Faculty Club Patio for our Summer Solstice Celebration with wine, food and songs. We will serve a Rose for Reception and wines to match each course as noted in the menu.

Reception wine and canapes, will on the patio at 6:30, followed by dinner at 7:00 p.m. NOTE: Please choose your course in advance. If ordering by Eventbrite, select you main course option. If you are registering by mail, tick the box on the order form for your choices.

The Faculty Club is located at 41 Willcocks Street on the U of T Campus, one block south of Harbord and east of Spadina. Dress comfortably, summer casual, bright and breezy, no suits and ties.
