Announcements: An SOS from our programmer

For the last seven months, a handful of us have managed to keep MonSFFA alive by going virtual.  And we’ve done a darn good job, even if we say so ourselves.

BUT WE ARE GETTING EXHAUSTED!

Our live meetings used to have a rotation of presenters, with the same people rarely having to host a panel more than three or four time in a whole year.  There were breaks, too, with outings, parties and book sales.  Not so anymore; the six of us have been spitting out presentations, games and galleries nonstop since last April!  And it looks very much like we will have to stay virtual for several months to come…

WON’T YOU HELP?

We do not ask for much; just a bit of material suitable to fill half an hour of time will do nicely.  It can be a short history of a TV show, a short lecture on astronomy or some other genre-related topic.

Do not worry about the wrapping, we can help you frame your content nicely by providing PowerPoint or KeyNote backgrounds, formatting and conversion into slides.  We just need some content to get things started.

Pretty please, with chocolate on it?

Also on offer, two pairs of Celtic ornaments in celebration of the month. Each pair has the fairy with the moon and the Tree of Life. The Tree of Life is common to many cultures, but recently is mostly associated with the Celts and Norse.  The woods are paduk and canary wood.

And there is a dragon, because dragons are always in style! This wide-eyed baby is made of walnut.

You may remember that Lindsay won the first prize for correctly completing Keith’s super hard quiz.  She sends us a photo of the dragon clock on the library shelf. I hope the little dragon likes Heinlein!

Sylvain’s Spaceships

Did you ever doodle when you were a teenager?  I know I did, but not quite in the usual mundane way.  My fun was to create whole fleets of spaceships from different star-faring civilizations and come up with all sorts of interactions between them.  Hey, I am a geek!

I rarely throw things away, and recently found a bunch of my drawings from the late-60s and early-70s.  Here they are, in all their slightly yellowed splendour.  –Sylvain
