Party, Feb 14.
Announcements:
Anyone want to volunteer to host the Minn-StF Pool Party on 14 Feb.
'09? Please contact Lydia or any board member.
Dreamhaven will probably be no longer subsidizing the dead-tree
Einblatt by paying postage. This runs about $900/year, and Minn-StF
can't afford it. We are researching the possibility of another sponsor,
but may be forced to go to a paid subscription model for (only!) the
dead tree edition. If so, subscriptions would be approximately
$10/year. Comments may be sent to bo...@mnstf.org or einb...@mnstf.org.
SF novelist Donald Callander died July 26th. He was born in Minneapolis
in 1930 and grew up in Duluth, but moved away long before his writing
career began.
Dave Harsh died in Cleveland, GA on August 26th.
