June 2011 DASFA Director-y

This month, we are lucky to have Connie Willis as our speaker. Fresh from her latest Nebula ward win (best novel for Blackout / All Clear), she may be talking about classics that are being neglected … or something else. Whatever it is, it’s bound to be both entertaining and enlightening, so don’t miss the meeting!

Dr. Steve Lee will give us an update on Mars in July, and in August it’s the picnic. I gave Rhonda contact information for Thea when we met up at Gail & Sourdough’s Garden Party Alternate, so hopefully by this meeting our director of vice will be able to report that we have a reservation.

In other news, it looks as though we are going to have a meeting to discuss DASFA’s online presence … possibly at the July alternate (which is also at Gail & Sourdough’s).

MileHiCon is starting to loom on the horizon. I am still collecting program ideas, but get them to me soon! Luckily, I have the rest of the year set (barring mishaps and cancellations), so I can focus on MileHiCon the rest of the summer.

DASFA schedule at this point:
June – Connie Willis
July – Dr. Steve Lee
August – picnic
September – John Stith
October – Hilari Bell & Robin Owens
November – Rhonda’s program
December – Christmas party

Yours in fandom,
