JUST A FEW DAYS UNTIL CLUB’S 2025 CHRISTMAS DINNER & PARTY!
MonSFFA’s 2025 Christmas Dinner & Party will take place in just a few days, on Saturday, December 6; mark your calendars accordingly! Come join your fellow sci-fi fans in celebrating the festive season! All club members, their families, and MonSFFA’s friends are invited!
We will meet up at 7:00PM on that Saturday evening at the Bâton Rouge Grillhouse & Bar located within Complexe Desjardins, downtown Montreal (Metro Place-des-Arts). The restaurant is accessible both from within Complexe Desjardins—best option for those with mobility issues—and from the street, 180 rue Ste-Catherine, Ouest.
Metered parking is available on nearby streets, or you may prefer paid parking within Complexe Desjardins itself.
In keeping with our tradition, we will celebrate the season over dinner and drinks, and hold our traditional fund-raising Christmas-gift raffle—tickets are only $1.00 each, so buy a bunch, and our North Pole Observation Post reports that gift-wrapped prizes are expected in plentiful supply!
Also…
VIRTUAL HOLIDAY GET-TOGETHER 2025!
We will also celebrate the season online, via our familiar ZOOM-chat! If you’re out of town or otherwise unable to attend our December 6 Dinner & Party, we would be pleased to welcome you to our Virtual Holiday Get-Together the following weekend, on Saturday afternoon, December 13, 1:00PM-4:00PM.
We’ll gather virtually on ZOOM to simply exchange season’s greetings, raise a glass to the Holiday Season, enjoy each other’s company, and the good cheer engendered by this particular time of year!
