\"\"<\/a>9) THANK YOU<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We thank for their contributions to this afternoon\u2019s agenda Danny Sichel, Carly Terreault, L. E. Moir, and Joe Aspler, as well as all of our contributing participants. And, of course, we thank you who attended, both here online, and physically in the meeting hall; don\u2019t forget to comment on today\u2019s get-together.<\/p>\n

10) NEXT MONTH\u2019S CLUB EVENTS, AND BEYOND<\/strong><\/h3>\n
December<\/strong><\/h5>\n

MonSFFen will next gather on Saturday, December 9 for an in-person Christmas Luncheon<\/strong>, and again, online, the following weekend, Sunday<\/em>, December 17, for a Holiday ZOOM-Chat<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The Luncheon locale is not set up for WiFi, and so live-streaming won\u2019t be possible, unfortunately. Because we won\u2019t be able to connect with our out-of-town members on this occasion, we have, therefore, scheduled the Holiday ZOOM-Chat<\/strong> on the following weekend (Sunday<\/em>, the 17th) so as to allow our out-of-towners\u2014and indeed, all MonSFFen\u2014to touch base online before the Holidays. This casual ZOOM-chat\u2014no formal programing is planned\u2014will run from 1:00PM to 4:00PM, allowing everyone the opportunity to drop in for a chinwag and exchange best wishes for the festive season.<\/p>\n

The Christmas Luncheon<\/strong> the weekend before (Saturday, the 9th) is set to take place from 2:00PM to 6:00PM, and will offer a buffet and our traditional MonSFFA Christmas Raffle<\/strong>\u2014lots<\/em> of gift-wrapped prizes to be won! This raffle serves as a fund-raiser benefitting the club. Raffle tickets are $1.00 each; Platinum-level members enjoy a two-for-the-price-of-one bargain! So bring your loonies and folding money, and may the odds be ever in your favour!<\/p>\n

We are returning to the same West-Island locale in which was held last year\u2019s Luncheon. Members and special guests will receive an official invitation, either via e-mail or postal mail, in advance of the event. Said invitation will include directions for those driving to the party, as well as for those travelling by public transit.<\/p>\n

Post-Luncheon, those wanting to continue the celebrations will relocate a short distance to a local pub!<\/p>\n

2024<\/strong><\/h5>\n

MonSFFA\u2019s regular schedule of programmed meetings will resume in the New Year. Our first get-together of 2024<\/strong> will unfold on Saturday, January 13 from 1:00PM to 4:30PM. Fans of astronomy will want to mark their calendars as we will welcome special guests David Shuman and Paul Simard, who will present their short documentary film, ShadowChasers<\/em>, and<\/em> speak on the topic of April 2024\u2019s solar eclipse!<\/p>\n

11) SIGN-OFF<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Online participants, were you able to clearly see and hear today\u2019s meeting? Please take a moment before departing to leave a comment as to how well, or not, this live-stream\/ZOOM-chat worked from your perspective. Your input will help us to assess the experience, pinpoint any problem areas, and where possible, continue to make improvements.<\/p>\n

To all, enjoy the rest of your day, and with the festive season in the offing, may we proffer early wishes to MonSFFA\u2019s members, their families, and all friends of the club for a Merry Christmas, a Joyful Holiday Season, and a Happy New Year! Until next we gather, keep well and safe!\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
