\"\"<\/a>For the first time in over three years, MonSFFA will be hosting a live, in-person meeting! It’s scheduled for next month!<\/p>\n

When the COVID-19 pandemic was declared, we shut down our meeting schedule in keeping with safety protocols implemented at the time. We fully expected to return to a meeting hall in a few weeks, couple months, at most.<\/p>\n

-sigh-<\/em><\/p>\n

Much has changed in the intervening years. The club remained active, but online, quickly introducing a virtual meeting schedule, which developed to include a ZOOM-Chat component in parallel with posted material. This sustained us through the darkest days of the pandemic\u2014remember those lockdowns and curfews!<\/p>\n

We find ourselves, now, finally<\/em>, able to host in-person meetings again after some two years of frustration talking with hotels that had jacked their prices to stratospheric heights way<\/em> beyond reasonable, or simply shut down their function space altogether. Post-pandemic nerves kept many churches, schools, public libraries, and community centers either reluctant to accommodate us, or just plain unable, or unwilling to make room for us!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>But we recently found a very inviting locale, and we\u2019re excited to tell you all about it, and answer your questions about the when, where, and what about this and that! Our ZOOM-Chat for the next little while, therefore, will focus on this new development, and a few other matters related to the club\u2019s activities.<\/p>\n

MonSFFA Executive member Joe Aspler snapped the photos below of the facilities we expect to make our new home. There\u2019s plenty of room for a meeting, and for large-scale events like a book sale, and there\u2019s even a bar!<\/p>\n

So, a quick overview of all this, and then we\u2019ll field your questions.\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
