Greetings Fellow Sci-Fi Fans:
5) THANK YOUWe thank Keith Braithwaite, Danny Sichel, Joe Aspler, and Cathy Palmer-Lister for today’s meeting programming. Thank you, as well, to all of our contributing participants, along with everyone who helped to plan and run today’s get-together. We also thank, of course, all of you who joined us, both physically in the meeting hall and here on ZOOM; don’t forget to comment on today’s get-together (www.MonSFFA.ca).
The Season is upon us! We’ll be holding our annual downtown Christmas/Holiday Dinner/Party early next month, on Saturday, evening, December 6. More information to follow; we’ll advise everyone of our restaurant choice, etc. just as soon as things are confirmed! Check in here at MonSFFA.ca for updates.
We’ve also got a Virtual Holiday Get-Together planned, on Saturday, December 13, for those who can’t make it to our dinner/party.
Thank you all for taking part today. We appreciate the enthusiastic involvement of our members, and we hope to see you all again next month! Until then, fare thee well, and take heed: winter is coming! Apparently tomorrow evening! Get your winter gear out of the closet; it’s that time of year, again!
1) INTRODUCTIONWelcome to MonSFFA’s November 2025 meeting! We are gathering, today, in the “Faubourg” room of our downtown meeting locale, Le Nouvel Hotel, 1740 René-Lévesque Ouest (corner St-Mathieu).
But out-of-towners, as always, may join our ZOOM-chat and take part in the meeting from home!
Proceedings will be getting underway shortly.
To join our ZOOM-chat and take part online this afternoon, see the instructions, immediately below (Item 2).
Our programming agenda begins at 1:00PM; the meeting will conclude at 5:00PM. This opening post has gone up 30 minutes before the meeting’s start time to allow folk to gather online at their leisure. A closing post will go up at 5:00PM to officially thank today’s presenters, and to preview next month’s MonSFFA event!
To take part in this afternoon’s meeting online, join our ZOOM video-chat, which will run throughout the next few hours. Simply click here and follow the prompts: This Afternoon’s MonSFFA Meeting on ZOOM

Meeting ID: 861 7379 0718
Passcode: 754672
What SF/F topics interest you? Have on hand a few suggestions for next year’s programming!
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!
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?
The club’s treasurer offers a brief report on our successful 2025 Super Sci-Fi Book Sale, held last month.
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!
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!
MonSFFA’s next meeting is scheduled to take place tomorrow afternoon, 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.
As for tomorrow’s meeting, 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.
