Important notice regarding WARP!

WARP 110–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?
