The Lost Days of Gregory XIII: A
celebration of the unfinished & the
lost

 Kaldor invites you to come and celebrate lost time and
the unfinished project with us.  In 1582 Pope Gregory
XIII of Gregorian Calendar fame, instituted the correction to
the Julian calendar that eliminated 10 days to allow the
solar calendar to once more align with the civil
calendar.  In honor of those lost days we present a
lighthearted day-long celebration of lost things, unfinished
projects and the ability to laugh in the face of time.

 We will be celebrating our lost days with:

• 
  An Unfinished Arts and Sciences Display
  and Competition & a second Barely
  Finished A&S Competition
