DISCLAVE '84 is recruiting volunteers (as you know if you read the minutes). Send your name, address, phone, and what areas you'd like to work in to Jane Wagner, 604 Reservoir St., Baltimore, MD 21217.
BALTICON 18 is also recruiting - send the same info to Sue Wheeler, Baltimore Science Fiction Society, Box 686 Baltimore, MD 21203.
Don't these people ever let up? (We show no mercy...)
If by some faint chance you aren't working on ConStellation, here's the latest on what's happening:
The Huckster Room is sold out. Membership now stands at about 5,200 (Ghod Help Us All!). Attending membership is $40 until July 15, and WILL BE HIGHER AT THE DOOR. Supporting membership is $15. Conversion from supporting to attending is the difference between what you paid and the current attending rate. Hugo and site selection ballots are in P.R. 4, and were also mailed separately in May (thanks to WSFAns who stuffed the mailing!). YOU MUST BE A MEMBER OF CONSTELLATION BEFORE YOU CAN VOTE ON THE HUGOS. You may join and vote on site selection at the same time. Site selection ballots must be postmarked by July 15; Hugo ballots must be postmarked by August 1.
PROGRESS REPORT 4 started being mailed out on the target date, May 15. Since there are over 5,000 members, it took us a while (also, the Post Awful isn't very fast on bulk mail). The advance mailing with the Hugo and site selection ballots was mailed before the P.R. - it has the time-critical forms. Really - you'll get one....
The CON SUITE will run around the clock in the Convention Center. The convention will serve no alcohol, but there will be a cash bar run by the Convention Center concessionaire. Maryland has a very complicated drinking law; but if you were born before June 30, 1964 you can drink legally. Bring lots of ID, because you will be carded.
The art show will take reservations postmarked June 1 or after and up to July 15. Enclose a LSASE
------------------------------------------------------------
This is my last issue of the Journal as secretary (Yippee!). Despite complaints, I really have enjoyed being the secretary and doing the Journal. I have gotten to know many WSFAns as I tried to match names with faces. And I enjoyed making some return to fandom and the club for what I have gotten out of it.
HOWEVER, I would like to make a few comments before I fold my tent and steal away. As you may have noticed, the last few Journals have consisted mainly of minutes of the previous meetings. There's a very good reason for this - getting copy for the Journal is still a nuisance. Over the last few months, I have found that I did not have enough time (thanks to the aforementioned ConStellation) to develop interesting articles, book reviews, movie reviews, con reviews, cartoons, etc. for the Journal, much as I'd like to include something other than the minutes. Since most other WSFAns are also working on the worldcon (and shame on you if you're not!), I haven't found anyone who can submit articles and artwork regularly.
Much as we all know and love our worldcon (speaking as a resident of SMOF Central Station), let's stop and think about our home club for a bit. WSFA is our place to chat, relax, rub backs, socialize, play poker, and (reluctantly) conduct worldcon business. The Journal is our clubzine, our "voice" - it would be nice to see it really speak for the members of the club instead of just the secretary.
It's Bev Brandt's job now, and I wish her all the best. But speaking from experience, may I ask that you send her lots of interesting articles for the Journal? If you'd like to read more interesting items than the minutes every month (and I'm sure Bev has some up her sleeve already), start contributing....PLEASE!
If your name does not appear on this list, it is probably because you haven't paid your dues. The Secretary does not have addresses for the following paid-up WSFAns: Sherna Comerford, Doug Humphrey, and James R. Jenkins.
