jan howard finder Memorial and Irish Wake

From Lin Daniel, sending from jan’s email account:  I’m trying to reach as many of his friends as I can with some important and time-sensitive information.

For those who don’t already know, my apologies for dropping this on you so abruptly: jan howard finder, The Wombat, passed away 26 February 2013 just after midnight, at the hospital where he was receiving treatment for cancer. I was with him at the time, and his passing was peaceful.

Following are the details of the memorial convention for jan. Please share this info far and wide, since I’m sure a few names are missing from these lists of people who want to know and perhaps attend.

WombatCon – jan howard finder Memorial and Irish Wake

When: 1 June 2013, starting noonish

Where: Holiday Inn Wolf Road, 205 Wolf Road, Albany, NY 12205 +1-518-533-1720

For those coming in from out of town, we have WombatCon room rates of $99 for Friday and/or Saturday night. Use the code Wombatcon to receive this reduced rate. Further information is on the website:  www.wombatcon.lindaniel.com or you can reach me directly at lindaniel@usa.net

Please come. I would love to see you, to meet you for the first time, or meet you in person. If you cannot attend, but wish to share your memories of jan, please send email. I’ll be posting material to jan’s blog.

Lin Daniel, jan’s “otter half”

Dinner meeting Colonnade Pizza downtown, Wed Apr 3rd, 6:30 pm

We’ll be gathering for our next dinner meeting at the Colonnade Pizza downtown, Wed Apr 3rd, 6:30 pm. This is to make up for the postponement on March 20th. Colonnade Pizza is at the corner of Metcalfe and Gilmour. We’re at table 59 in the back right hand (north east) corner of the back section of the restaurant. Reservation is Alex Binkley’s name as well as OSFS.
Once again, keep watching our blog at the official OSFS web site OttawaSFS.ca and post any ideas for books, TV shows, movies or Internet links that would interest our membership, which now stands at 49. We average 1 to 2 new members a week. We had some new members attend our February meeting and hope to see more of you on the 3rd.

Please RSVP via our Meetup site at www.meetup.com/ottawasfs-ca or by email to events@ottawasfs.ca so we’ll have an idea of how many to expect. 

Supper gathering Tues Mar 19, 6pm, Colonnade downtown – Postponed

UPDATED Mar 19/13: As the weather is being utterly unco-operative , we are postponing the OSFS supper scheduled for tonight at the Collonade on Metcalfe until next month. While driving might be possible, parking downtown could be iffy with this much snow. Will let everyone know when we have a new date.

Updated Mar 17, 2013:  The weather office warns we could be in for major snow Tuesday. If that’s the case and in fairness to our members who come from different parts of the city, the meeting will be postponed until April unless there are enough hardy souls willing to wade through hell and high snow banks. Watch for further details. 

We’re gathering again for dinner and discussion on Tuesday, March 19th, 2013 at the Colonnade Pizza on Metcalfe at Gilmour. Please join us at 6pm for food and fun. 🙂

Details will also be on our Meetup site. You can RSVP there, or by email to events@ottawasfs.ca

Supper gathering at D’Arcy McGee’s Orleans Feb 22/13, 6pm

This is part of an experiment for February: we’ll be hosting a couple of gatherings in different locations. In case you’re wondering, you don’t have to attend both. Just the one that’s most convenient to you, time and location-wise!

Please pass the word along to any science-fiction and fantasy fans in Orléans you know!

Place: D’Arcy McGee’s, 260 Centrum Boulevard, Orléans, ON, Canada

Date/Time: Fri Feb 22/13, 6-8pm

Supper gathering Wed Feb 13/13, 6:30pm, Perkins St Laurent

Perkins Restaurant 1130 St. Laurent Blvd, Ottawa, ON (map), 6:30-9:30pm, Wed Feb 13

We will be meeting in the back room at Perkins Restaurant at the corner of St. Laurent and Coventry Rd. There’s a table reserved in the name Alex Binkley for the Ottawa Science Fiction Society. There is free parking at the restaurant, the transitway stops across the street at the St. Laurent Centre and there are buses along St. Laurent Blvd. We have a lot of new members in OSFS and hopefully some of you will be able to attend so we can meet you.

There will be a gathering in Orleans the following week, a supper get together downtown in March and a possible gathering in Kanata in March or April. If you have suggestions for other activities, let us know.

You can RSVP on our OSFS Meetup site or to events@ottawasfs.ca
