Odyssey Day – Brainstorming Zoom (Sept. 3, 2026)

CANE members are invited to participate in Odyssey Day, a nationwide series of programs centered on Homer’s Odyssey, to be held at local public libraries and other community venues this October. Some fifty programs are already taking shape, and additional participants are welcome.

There will be a virtual meeting for all interested participants on September 3, 2026, at noon Eastern Standard Time, to discuss the diverse programs being planned and to exchange thoughts, questions, and practical information. The meeting will be useful both to those who already have programs underway and to those who are considering organizing an event.

You can register for the September 3 meeting here.

If you are interested in planning an Odyssey Day event but have not yet completed the response form, please do so here: Odyssey Day 2026 Events Form.
