MonSFFA: Looking ahead

There has been a bit of a change in our meeting programming since WARP was published.

Three events need advanced planning:  Keith’s movie project, the book sale in November, and the Christmas party.

It seems likely that our usual party haunt will still be closed after the fire, so we are looking for a new restaurant that can handle 20-25 people in long tables–not booths!– and a menu with a price range starting no higher than 25$.  You might think December is a long way off, but arrangements have to be made no later than end of October.

If you have books to donate to the sale in November, please try to bring them in the morning of the sale. Already, I have enough boxes of books that I’ll need two trips to haul them all in. You might also want to go through your collections to see if you have anything you want to sell at our” garage sale”.

The movie project will likely happen in September or early October, so stayed tuned for the casting call.

Permission to come aboard! A slide presentation, The Star Trek recreated sets in Ticonderoga , by Keith and Lindsay.

There may or may not be a third panel–either on astronomy or podcasting.  It’s been a long, hot summer, so some of us are, um, wow, September? Already? Really?  And I’m on next? Oh….

By Joe Siclari: What does 1,000 years of fandom look like? At Worldcon 76, FANAC.org tried to find out. The pictorial project, started by Mark Olson, captures photos of fans new and old, each holding a sign with their years of fannish activity. Two photos exceeded 1,000 years (one of which was the Worldcon Chairs photo). In all, the project collected 6,707 years of fandom.  Photos from the “1000 Years of Fandom” project are available on FANAC.org.

Those who missed the start of the “1000 Years” can participate by sending us a photo of themselves and their friends holding a card with the number of years they have been in fandom. Send it to fanac@fanac.org.

FANAC’s Fan History Project is dedicated to preserving and making available scans of original photos and publications from 1930 to the present, with a YouTube channel showcasing audio and video. The Fancyclopedia 3 website provides context and a Wikipedia like approach to fan history.
