Normally we’d be selling raffle tickets at this time, and we can still have a raffle, only differently!
First, it’s FREE!!
BUT there is a condition— for a chance to win a raffle prize you must participate in the meeting. Not complicated, at all. Whether you are following us on our website www.monsffa.ca , or facebook page https://www.facebook.com/MonSFFA/ you can click on COMMENT and add your 2-cents to the conversation as you would at our live meetings. Ask a question, make a suggestion, admire the displays, agree, disagree; as Jean-Luc would say: ENGAGE!
On Monday, I will collect the names of all the participants including those who have contributed to the display table, and put them in 3 jars: platinum members, regular members, everyone else. (yup, former & non-members will get a chance, too) . Winners will pick their prizes from the video below, and the club will MAIL the prizes to them. (Let’s hope the USPS is still in business)
As usual, Josée Bellemare, our keeper of the lists, will be sent the names of all the presenters and participants for the Christmas raffle.
And here is what’s up for grabs:
NB: The puzzles are free-standing .Monetarily, the value of the puzzles is mostly relative to the number of pieces.
11) Display Table
Take some time to browse the display table!
First up, the scale models. Dan Kenney and Wayne Glover have been building ships, and Brian Knapp has been building Gundam figures.
Dan is showing off his Chinese pirate ship, and Wayne is building a model of the Constitution, at 1/96.

Say hello to Brian Knapp, and give him a warm welcome to our virtual meeting. Brian has been a member since Con*Cept days, but has never been able to attend a meeting–he lives in Connecticut!
Brian wrote an extensive description of the models and their place in the Gundam universe and fandom. He’s included links to video and websites. I know we have members who are really “into” this, so I created a page for Brian on our website where you can get all the details!! Click here http://www.monsffa.ca/?page_id=10545
Josée Bellemare has been spending her time in isolation making more T-shirts, and here is a sample for display. You can see more of Josée’s shirts on our site: http://www.monsffa.ca/?page_id=10682
Josée says:
Hello to all,
Here are the photos of the t-shirts I have been working on.
They are all new versions of designs I have done in the past but no longer fit. I made a steampunk shirt with a compilation of several items : a clock face, corset and parasol, gears and an owl.
Next, I painted a new tropical sunset. The colors are a little different from the last one and this time I added a surf board.
And finally, the closest any of us might get to comic book superheroes this weekend, with Free Comic Book Day on shaky ground, my new Wonder Woman.
Okay, now you’ve just got enough time for a bathroom break, and we’re back again for the next presentation: Cathy’s Crafts!
