4 of 7 – The Break

It’s time for a break!

And since we are zooming pretty much the entire meeting, we really do need the break.

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

WARP 109 is about half done–I cannot do more without your input, and I am determined that it will be on line this month, so it might be a short issue. What I really need now are reviews. Given the time we have been spending at home, I find it hard to believe that no one has read a book or watched a TV show or movie. Et oui, vous pouvez écrire en français pour WARP, alors pas d’excuses.

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.

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 have members (naming on names here) who collect model kits–why not schedule some time to show off the boxes?

At the very least, please send us your programming wish list as we would normally be discussing the year’s programming this month anyway. What would you like to see from our club in 2021?
