Hi all,

Ursa Major has upcoming meetings for January through March of 2011. Help us build a club that can be an active participates at Worldcon 2013 if San Antonio wins the bid. Oh, and right now, the other choice is Zahgreb, Croatia. I’m told that Zahgreb is a beautiful, culturally rich city, but I’d still like to see the convention repeat here. The previous Worldcon held in Texas was in 1997.

For more information on meetings, check our website!

Here’s the future schedule for everyone:

January 14 is elections for club, elections for board, and December’s delayed Social

February 10 is business

February 25 Social 10 is business

March 10 is business

March Social

Hi y’all. I want to let everyone know that Ursa Major is resuming meetings as of tonight. While I know it is short notice, I truly hope that some folks will want to visit with us and lear about our goals as a literary club and to become part of our efforts to foster literacy of all types, most especially that of the science fiction and fantasy genrés.

Tonight we will be meeting at the new digs of 9Lives Bookstore at 4919 NW Loop 410, San Antonio, TX 78229-5311,
(210) 647-5656. ( Lives is located next door to Bobalicious in the Loews Shopping Center, next door to Bobalicious, just a few doors down from their old location. Sadly, their will be no more shop kitty.

Please feel free to contact me at casacooper@satx.rr.com, or to call me at 375-4237 if you would like to attend a meeting.

Guess what I found! One of the Programs from LSC II! I am slowly going through some of Momma’s collection, and turning up things. I think I will try to put together a display of fan history here for the last 30 years. Any suggestions y’all?

Is it even a good idea? I didn’t get much response from people who Momma considered her dear friends when I did a small one…

I plan to volunteer as much as I can, folks. I do have experience in the field, lol. And I know quite a few of you, which surprises me. I’m hoping y’all are more than some others.
