This is our closing post of the afternoon.

10) THANK YOU!

We thank for their chief contributions to this afternoon’s e-meeting Joe Aspler, Keith Braithwaite, John Mansfield, and Cathy Palmer-Lister. We offer a nod of appreciation, as well, to all of our supporting players.

MonSFFA hopes you have enjoyed your time with us this afternoon, we thank you for dropping in, and we ask all of you to check in regularly here at www.MonSFFA.ca for additional content during this continuing pandemic, and for any updates as to when the club will be returning to regular, face-to-face meetings—soon, we hope!

Thank you for your interest and attention, and don’t forget to comment on today’s e-meeting!

11) DATE OF NEXT CLUB MEETING, AND SIGN-OFF

No booking of our intended downtown meeting room has yet been confirmed; function space rentals remain on pause and we continue to await word of facilities reopening.

And so, we bid a fond farewell to all until we meet again on Saturday, October 15, at 1:00PM. Whether that’ll be live in a physical meeting hall, or online again right here at www.MonSFFA.ca remains unknown at this time. We’ll let you know of any new developments on that front!

Stay well, everyone, and enjoy the waning days of summer!

For those not participating in our ZOOM chat, today, you may still contribute by submitting your concise book reports or movie and television-series reviews via this post’s “Leave a Comment” option. We welcome your input.

8) SHOW-AND-TELL

For those participating on ZOOM, today, we open the floor to any club members who have “fancraft” undertakings to showcase—sci-fi scale models, sculpture, SF/F woodworking or needlecraft, whatever genre-themed, hands-on project it may be that you are working on at present, or have recently completed. Tell us all about your endeavour, and share any photos you may have snapped of your work-in-progress, or of the finished piece.

Those not able to join our ZOOM chat for the show-and-tell may contribute nonetheless by using this post’s “Leave a Comment” feature to type in a quick description of any such project of theirs.

This is Post 5 of 8 today.

7) CONVENTION REPORTS: CHICON and NASFiC

We take this opportunity to present a report on the recent Chicon convention, which was this year’s Worldcon, and on next year’s NASFiC, which will be hosted by Winnipeg. This will mark the first time the NASFiC has been held outside of the U.S. A NASFiC is held whenever the Worldcon takes place in a locale other than North America; next year’s Worldcon is to be hosted by Chengdu, China.

Join our ZOOM chat as we look at deleted scenes in science fiction, fantasy, and horror films and television!

eBay For Fun and Profit and Other Internet Sales Opportunities

This panel discussion gives an introduction to sales on eBay, including the trials and tribulations of finding material, how to price it, how to ship it, and how to deal with feedback. Yes, and the taxman may cometh as well.

eBay started as an auction site, but today, most sales are by fixed price. Why the change, and what is the advantage of one over the other.

Others are invited to contribute their experiences on eBay, on other internet sales sites, or on their own web sites.

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!
