DISCLAVE 1981 (ALEXIS GILLILAND)
The 1st Friday meeting occurs at the home of Doll and Alexis GILLILAND (see map) and the 3rd Friday meeting occurs at the home of Bill BERG (see map). The 5th Friday is a gypsy, and is held where volunteered and approved by the club. An allotment not to exceed $50.00 is provided by the club Treasury for all official meetings at the club and parties for refreshments. Membership in WSFA is open to "persons in the general Washington D.C. area interested in Science Fiction." Annual dues are $4.00 (payable quarterly). The annual election of officers is held on the 1st Friday in May. THE WSFA JOURNAL is sponsored by the club as its official bulletin and newsletter. It is scheduled presently as a monthly 4 paged photo-offset item and is distributed free to members and to those attending meetings. Members not attending who are current in their dues receive the JOURNAL by mail.
--the following is reprinted from THE WSFA JOURNAL issue Number One, March 1965. It is a brief history of WSFA up to that date--
The Washington Science Fiction Association was founded in the fall of 1947 (as the Washington Science Fiction Society) by seven attendees at the 1947 Philcon II -Russell Swanson (President), Bob Briggs (Vice-President), Frank Kerkhof (Secretary-Treasurer), R.P. Courtis, Bob Pavlat, and Chick Derry.
The club grew very slowly, gathering a few new members and attracting an occasional guest speaker, including such notables as Willy Ley and Seabury Quinn. Then, the club floundered when President Swanson was discharged from the Army and left D.C. for his home in Haddam, Connecticut, and Frank Kerkhof ended up trying to run the club single-handedly.
Revitalization came shortly afterwards, when in the summer of 1948, the club was reorganized as the Washington Science Fiction Association with a new constitution and an energetic new President - Louis E. Garner, Jr. Bob Briggs again was elected to the office of Vice-President, and Frank Kerkhof to the office of Secretary-Treasurer. The last-named office was split into two, with Roy W. Loan elected to the new post of Secretary.
Meetings were held at the offices of the Association of American Railroads, in the Transportation Building, at 17th and I Streets, N.W., until the fall of 1953. For a year after that, meetings were held in the club's own apartment on O Street. N.W. After the club gave up the apartment, meetings were held successively at the homes of various members, including Dot Cole, Nelson Griggs, and Miss E. Cullen; they have been held at Miss Cullen's since 1956.
In addition to Lou Garner, Association Presidents have included Roy Loan (2 terms) Phil Bridges (2 terms), Bob Briggs, Nelson Griggs, Ted White, Bill Berg, Bob Pavlat (2 terms - one as Vice-President completing a term as President), John Magnus, Dick Eney, Bob Madle, George Scithers (3 terms, one incomplete) and, currently, Banks Mebane.
During its existence the Association has held three formal Conclaves (1950 - Wily Ley, Guest Speaker; 1951 - Sam Moskowitz, Guest Speaker; 1953 - "Proxy"con), a World Convention (Discon, 1963 -Will F. Jenkins, better known as "Murray Leinster", Guest-of-Honor) and several informal (i.e. without programs) conclaves, the Disclaves (usually held annually since 1958).
A club publication, QUANTA, appeared during the early years of the Association, but folded after four issues. More recently, SPECULATIVE REVIEW was sponsored by WSFA. Finally, the publication you are reading, THE WSFA JOURNAL, has assumed the task of publishing the news of the Association and Association business.
WSFA meets on the 1st and 3rd Friday of each month. Presently the
meetings are scheduled at two places: The 1st Friday meeting is
scheduled at the home of Doll and Alexis Gilliland: [censored],
Arlington, Va. 22204 (703) 920-6087 the 3rd at Bill Berg's: 2131
Keating St. Hillcrest Heights, Md. 20031 (301) 894-8048.
DIRECTIONS TO BERG'S: (3rd Friday) Going south-west on Iverson Avenue
you will pass under Iverson Mall. Continue down Iverson and you will
see two smaller shopping areas on your right. 23rd St. is at the end
of the second small plaza. When you cross 23rd, you will see a tall,
colonial style Baptist Church. Take the next left onto 22nd. After
one block it crosses Jameson St. and changes its name to Keating,
Bill's house is the second house on the left. The first house has a
garage, Bill's does not.
DIRECTIONS TO GILLILAND'S: [censored] Be careful not to block either
of these driveways.
TIME TO SHOW UP: Folks start drifting in around 8:15 or so. The
meeting generally starts at 9:15. Everything varies.
