MonSFFA’s next meeting is scheduled to take place this Saturday, November 8, from 1:00PM to 5:00PM! This will be our last regular meeting of 2025; next month, we celebrate the Holiday Season with our traditional dinner/party.
We will gather at our downtown meeting locale, Le Nouvel Hotel, 1740 René-Lévesque Ouest (corner St-Mathieu); find us in the “Faubourg” conference room.
Out-of-towners, as always, may join our ZOOM-chat and take part in the meeting from the comfort of home!
On the Agenda:
The Brief Life and Lasting Legacy of Matt Baker, “Good Girl Artist” Supreme!
A primer on the career of Golden Age comic book artist Matt Baker, celebrated as a master of “Good Girl Art.” His talent for drawing beautiful women as dynamic, expressive characters made him an in-demand artist in the romance, adventure, crime/detective, “Jungle Girl,” and of course, sci-fi and superhero genres, securing his place among the comic industry’s top-ranked artists during the Golden, or any other age!
Sci-Fi Balderdash! (Game)
We always like to include a fun and challenging game in our programming of the last meeting of the year, so…given only the title of an actual SF/F story, can you come up with a brief, two-sentence fake story synopsis for that title? Convincing enough to fool your fellow players? And, can you pick out the real synopsis from among the fakes?
Report on the 2025 Super Sci-Fi Book Sale
The club’s treasurer offers a brief report on our successful 2025 Super Sci-Fi Book Sale, held last month.
Plans for Next Year!
We look forward to the coming year and kick around ideas for meeting programming and club activities in 2026! Your input, club members, is encouraged and welcome!
Meeting Theme: What SF/F topics interest you? Have on hand a few suggestions for next year’s programming!
Please Note: While we strive to keep on schedule, we do, sometimes, fall behind a little, or find ourselves having to reshuffle the order of items on the agenda for one reason or another, or reschedule planned presentations/discussions. Therefore, please understand that all programming is subject to change!
