Akron Postcard Club: The Year of Confusion - Exploring Leap Year Lore

What's the deal with the Leap Year? Join the Akron Postcard Club to get to the bottom of this oddball day with a deep dive into history, a jaunt through mathematics and astrophysics, an aside into politics, and frequent stops in pop-culture and the human experience. All of this, and more, will be done through the framework of that humble mode of communication: the postcard!

This free event is open to all.
