LVA Events

Spellabration

 

Spellabration combines two of LVA's long running traditions and annual fundraisers. The result is a unique celebration of literacy including a speed Scrabble Tournament and a Spelling Bee. Spellabration is an event that promotes the written word in a way that is fun and yet very different from the experiences of our students.

This year's Spellabration was held at the Fox Theatre on June 10, 2010, from 5:30pm—8:30pm.

Some of Atlanta’s finest companies engage in friendly competition and show their support for literacy.

Edible Book Festival

The Edible Book Festival is an annual event held throughout the world, uniting bibliophiles, book artists, and food lovers to celebrate the ingestion of culture and its fulfilling nourishment. To participate in the Edible Book Festival, create a piece of edible art related to books — old or new — fiction, non-fiction, plays, poetry — use your imagination!

The entries must be entirely edible and can promote anything related to books:

  • a scene or character from a book, play, short story, comics, or poem
  • a book cover
  • a book’s structure

For the first time, LVA’s Edible Book Festival will coincide with the Labor Day weekend AJC-Decatur Book Festival (September 3 and 5, 2010). The Edible Book Festival will take place in the heart of the book festival, on Saturday, September 4 only, at the Art Institute of Atlanta (Decatur), One West Courthouse Square. For information and registration: Registration Form.

Stay at Home Tea

The Stay at Home Tea is held in the spring, and you attend the “event” in the comfort of your home. LVA provides the tea bag, and you cuddle up with your favorite book, play relaxing music, and relish in the fact that you do not have to attend another fundraiser.
