November Meeting\u2019s Agenda Includes:<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

Star People!<\/strong>\u2014<\/strong>The \u201cAncient Aliens\u201d concept, and how such speculation has influenced the science fiction genre!<\/em><\/p>\n

These Are Not Your Father\u2019s Vampires!<\/strong>\u2014<\/strong>We examine fearful, non-traditional vampires!<\/em><\/p>\n

By the Cover (Game)!<\/strong>\u2014<\/strong>Given a SF\/F painting or illustration, can you identify the foreign-edition book for which it served as the cover art?<\/em><\/p>\n

MonSFFA\u2019s treasurer will also present a report on October\u2019s Super Sci-Fi Book Sale.<\/p>\n

The meeting\u2019s theme focuses on Remembrance Day, just past, and we ask MonSFFen to simply place their Remembrance Day poppies on our display table in honour of this nation\u2019s fallen.<\/em><\/p>\n

Christmas Dinner\/Party<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Christmas Dinner\/Party will be held at the Baton Rouge Grillhouse & Bar (D\u00e9carie), located at 5385 Rue des Jockeys, which is only a hop over from Rue Jean-Talon Ouest. The restaurant is just a short walk across the D\u00e9carie Expressway trench from the Namur Metro Station, and is part of a shopping and dining \u201cvillage\u201d near the old Blue Bonnets\/Hippodrome site.<\/p>\n

And so, with our best wishes of the festive season extended to all, MonSFFA formally invites its members, their families, and the club\u2019s friends to our 2026 Christmas Dinner\/Party.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We will gather at 6:00PM on Saturday evening, December 5, at the aforementioned B\u00e2ton Rouge Grillhouse & Bar (D\u00e9carie). Free parking is available in front of and around the restaurant.<\/p>\n

In keeping with our tradition, we will celebrate the season over dinner and drinks, and hold our traditional fund-raising Christmas-gift raffle\u2014tickets are only $1.00 each, so buy a bunch, and the gift-wrapped prizes are plentiful, as always!<\/p>\n

Do join us for an evening of camaraderie and good cheer!<\/p>\n

Virtual Holiday Get-Together<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We will also celebrate the season online, via our familiar ZOOM-chat! If you\u2019re out of town or otherwise unable to attend the dinner\/party, we would be pleased to welcome you to our Virtual Holiday Get-Together the following weekend, on Saturday afternoon, December 12, from 1:00PM-4:00PM.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll gather virtually on ZOOM to simply exchange season\u2019s greetings, raise a glass in celebration, enjoy each other\u2019s company, and the good cheer engendered by this particular time of year!\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
