The May 9th DMSFS meeting will be a normal meeting. The Post Mortem will be held the following week (not a normal DMSFS meeting week) on May 16th at 7pm at the home of Jon & Tammy Mohning, 1320 - 17th St., West Des Moines. We were going to hold this May 9th, but we're changing the date because we (ConCom 19) were reminded that the DMSFS club decided a while back NOT to have the annual Post Mortem on the first DMSFS meeting after DemiCon. We decided to sandwich the Post Mortem between the DMSFS meeting Fridays and have it on the third Friday in May. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US AT DEMICON 19 ON MAY 2-4, 2008 The dates for DemiCon 20 have been announced: May 1-3, 2009 Author Guest of Honor: To Be Announced Artist Guest of Honor: Sara Butcher Fhan Guest of Honor: Roger Tener Toastmaster Emeritus: Rusty Hevelin Toastmaster:Tadao Tomomatsu Venue: Hotel Fort Des Moines We would like to remind everyone, that all items needing to be placed on the agenda should be emailed to the club president by no later than the Monday prior to the next meeting. Items received after that will be placed on the agenda for the following meeting (in 4 weeks). If you have a programming item you want to present, let the president know and that can be added as well.
