I hope you'll allow everyone on this list to join the official list,
whether or not they're a current WSFA member.  I've never had access
to information on who are paid members, but I do have access to
decades of attendance data, and I can guarantee that everyone on
this list has been to at least three WSFA meetings.

Everyone:  Delete the "dmarc-" from Sam's address when writing to him.
I apologize for the horrible kludge that adds it.

PRSFS, BSFS, and PSFS have also been canceling meetings or holding
them online.  Tonight's BSFS/Balticon meeting will presumably decide
whether or not to cancel Balticon.

Last night VWS (a local ham radio club) held an online meeting during
which they decided to postpone or cancel their annual hamfest (flea
market) and all other in-person events.

This year's Worldcon, in New Zealand (yes, this is a truly global
pandemic) has decided they will hold that convention unless their
hotel or their government forbids it.
