Dwight has reserved the “Abbey” at Patty’s to be set aside for OSFS. The “Abbey” is accessible.

The actual show starts at 8 PM, but the early start is for letting people get acquainted with each other first. Remember: Don’t yield! Back SHIELD!

The monthly supper gathering of the Ottawa Science Fiction Society
Tuesday, February 25, 2014

Denny’s South Keys
2208 Bank Street, Ottawa, ON 

When you come in the main door,  walk straight ahead to the back room.

This is where we met last month and is at South Keys Shopping Centre, right near Bank Street. Check the www.ottawasfs.ca web site for details or contact exec@ottawasfs.ca
Hopefully the weather will be better this time.

Last month we featured local authors and their books. They are welcome to bring books again but we would like our artist members–painters, artists and cartoonists–to bring out their works for showing off or sale. We know there’s lots of creative folks in our group and would like to see what all they do. If you have a favourite piece of SFF or Horror bring it along for everyone to enjoy.

Please email events@ottawasfs.ca to let us know how many to expect.
