It’s time for a break!

And since we are zooming pretty much the entire meeting, we really do need the break. But first, before we all disperse, Let’s celebrate for Alexis, whose birthday this is!

Happy Birthday, Alexis!

While everyone runs to the fridge and bathroom, here are a couple of announcements.

WARP: In case you missed it, WARP 109 is available for download: http://www.monsffa.ca/?page_id=6915 . Beavra and Mammothra have a new friend!

WARP 100–what a nice number!– will be edited by Danny and Val, and hopefully ready for April. They will be looking for your input!! Et oui, vous pouvez écrire en français pour WARP, alors pas d’excuses. Henceforth, submissions and LoCs should be mailed to <warp@monsffa.ca> .

MonSFFA PROGRAMMING :  We need members to consider making a presentation or volunteer to moderate a discussion. Now that we have unlimited time on zoom, there are more possibilities. Somebody could do a demo from his/her workshop for instance. We can have debates and discussions, as we did at live meetings. Instead of just posting pictures of models, costumes, and other projects, we can have actual show-and-tells.  You can reach Sylvain by clicking here: <treasurer@monsffa.ca>

At the very least, please send us your programming wish list. What would you like to see from our club in 2021?

MEMBERSHIP FEES: MonSFFA has always been (and always will be) primarily a social club, so when we had to suspend in-person meetings, we also suspended the fees. This was not a great hardship as we were also not paying for a hotel room. However, while our expenses are lower, they are not insignificant. For one thing, the fees for our website and domain name come due this year, and we have to pay for a year’s subscription to Zoom. Though WARP is only being mailed to members without Internet, it is still being printed in hopes that we will all be able to get together again someday. We have had no fundraising, none at all, not even the snack bar!

Therefore we will be asking members to start renewing their memberships as if last year never happened (I wish), starting April as our last live meeting was in March. Therefore, if your membership was due for renewal in April 2020, it is now due in April 2021.

Payment: Cheques made out to <MonSFFA> can be mailed to Sylvain whose home address is in the inside cover of WARP. We are having problems setting up a PayPal account, but we are working on it.

Participation Prizes

3 or 4 names (depends on how many become involved) will be drawn from a hat. All you have to do is be here! But we really would like you to also leave comments on our website.
