Post 1 of 8: Introduction and Agenda

1) INTRODUCTION

Welcome to MonSFFA’s September 2022 e-Meeting!

Settle into your most comfortable chair, tasty snacks at hand, along with a cool, refreshing drink, and join us for an afternoon of sci-fi fun and conversation. Today, we’ll be looking at online commerce for the sci-fi fan, exploring deleted scenes in SF/F film and television, and, we’ll hear convention reports on the recent Chicon, and next year’s NASFiC, which will be hosted by Winnipeg, the first time the NASFiC will take place outside of the U.S.

One of the new, anti-Omicron vaccines is now approved and available in Canada, so hopefully, this fall and coming winter won’t be like those of the past couple years!

Today’s agenda is a busy one, so let’s get right to it!
