Middle Earth Breakfast and Charity Auction
A delicious breakfast banquet awaits at DELMONICO'S RESTAURANT which is located across the street from The Pasadena Center. This event will have limited seating and feature selected guest drop-ins. A silent auction benefiting several charities will be held during the
breakfast. Guests and ticket information (a separate ticket is required) will be announced shortly.

The One Ring Awards Celebration
Join us for the first annual awards show for all things Tolkien. In a similar tradition to the previous Golden Gandalf's, 'The One Ring Awards' will incorporate art, literature, film and the spirit of Tolkien. More details will be announced shortly.
This is just the beginning, there is so much more planned that we are still working around the clock to organize it all. Fan fiction, gaming, music, 'Ringers: Lord of the Fans,' Elvish lessons, and Tolkien Academia to name just a fraction of it all. Watch this website over the coming months, or sign up for the mailing list, and learn what else we'll add to the mix. Note: All guests and events are tentative and subject to change.
