Here is the latest text of http://www.wsfa.org/calendar.htm
More information about each event is available in links from that page.
I am not including any mention of the Harry Potter movie viewing since
nobody ever emailed me the details despite my request. I think it's
this Saturday evening, somewhere in Maryland.
Sam, you might mention the next month or two's events in the December
Journal, for the benefit those members who aren't on this list and
don't regularly view that web page.
