Dear Gentle Being, 3 NOV 2001

Welcome to the latest update, for events occurring at the SF Discussion Group.

The next meeting will be Wednesday, 14 November 2001. The meeting begins at 7:00 PM and ends, officially, at 9:00 PM at the FLIGHTS OF FANTASY BOOKSTORE at 488 Albany-Shaker Road in Loudonville - next to the Rite Aid.

ROWENA will be our guest for the evening. She will be discussing her art work, & if all goes well, will do a slide show of her work. I'm hoping she will bring some prints of her work for sale. I got a neat one at ALBACON. We will be meeting about 4:53 PM at FoF for dinner.

On Sunday, 11 November at 2:00 PM at the Flights of Fantasy Bookstore there will be an ALBACON meeting, 488 Albany Shaker Rd. Everyone is invited. Help us review ALBACON 01 and plan ALBACON 02.

The next SFDG meetings will be on: Wednesday, 9 January 2002 & Wednesday, 13 February 2002

I hope to have Melissa Scott & Lisa Barnett here sometime during the first half of 2002.
