\"\"<\/a>3) THANK YOU, CLOSING<\/strong><\/h1>\n

We thank all of you, our members<\/strong>, for joining us today; we hope you enjoyed the chat. Thanks, as well, to the usual culprits who helped to put this Virtual Picnic together!<\/p>\n

The 2026 Virtual Picnic is now officially ended<\/strong>. Don\u2019t forget to comment on today\u2019s event (www.MonSFFA.ca<\/a>).<\/p>\n

4) NEXT MONTH\u2019S EVENT: <\/strong>SATURDAY, AUGUST 15, DOWNTOWN, FANCRAFTING WORKSHOPS!<\/strong>\"\"<\/a><\/h1>\n

Genre fans are often avid crafters; \u201cfancrafting<\/strong>\u201d is a term we\u2019ve coined to describe the act of a SF\/F fan creating a SF\/F-themed craft! And that is what\u2019s on our agenda in two weeks\u2019 time, on Saturday, August 15<\/strong>, as we return to our downtown<\/strong> meeting hall at the Nouvel Hotel<\/strong> for our August Fancrafting Workshops<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

The afternoon will be dedicated to several, hands-on, how-to workshops<\/strong> on SF\/F-themed craft projects, including the making of simple, construction-paper dinosaurs or sci-fi movie monsters, and the fashioning of genre-themed jewellery. See how it\u2019s done, learn a new craft, and try your hand!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Also, MonSFFen are encouraged to bring in, for our display table, examples of their own fancraft, completed projects, those in progress, or both! Share your SF\/F-themed creative undertakings with the group!<\/strong><\/p>\n

See you all on Saturday, August 15!<\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n

5) SIGN-OFF<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Thank you all for taking part in our 2026 Virtual Picnic. We hope everyone enjoyed themselves this afternoon. As always, we appreciate the enthusiastic involvement of our members, and look forward to getting together again next month<\/strong>, both in person and online, for our Fancrafting Workshops<\/strong>! Until then, have a good evening and keep well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
