Our thanks to Keith Braithwaite, editor of Impulse, who also writes:
Saturday, November 17, is the date of our next downtown meeting; read all about it in this issue of Impulse! We’re hosting our annual sci-fi used book sale, which is a fund-raiser for the club, and a wonderful opportunity to pick up some great reading material for the holidays, perhaps as gifts, for incredibly bargain-basement prices! Check out the details in this issue of Impulse!
Also, next month, on Saturday, the 8th, we’re hosting our yearly Christmas party, this time a festive lunch at the downtown Baton Rouge restaurant near the Bell Centre. Club members, family and friends are welcome! Do join us for a little seasonal celebration! Again, read all about it in this month’s Impulse.
Last month, some of you opted to re-up with MonSFFA, and we’re pleased to welcome you back! Note that our annual membership fee remains only $25 per individual, as it has for many years, now!
You can get in touch with us via our Web site: www.MonSFFA.ca
I want to thank everyone who showed up yesterday for the book 
sale, especially those who set up and later put away the tables and those who donated to the cause either with books or with purchases.
We raised about 300$, which for us is a lot. Even better, we have some new members!
A huge thank you to the Hotel Espresso and Lucio in particular for his help in making this work for us.
From noon to 4:00PM, Grand Salon of the Espresso Hotel, 1005 rue Guy, several hundred books at incredibly low prices! http://www.monsffa.ca/
Another influx of books to freshen our stock! A member is donating 7 printer boxes, about 500 books!

Steampunk Radio: “Steampunk is a genre of creativity that has always enthralled me. I love the merger of ancient and future, and all of the possibilities that lie within the mixture of the two. My tastes in music and art have always angled toward the darker genres of music and bands, so I love that steampunk bands tend to gravitate towards similar emotions. I wanted to make a site dedicated to exploring some of the best bands and composers creating music within the Steamapunk Scene.
