     When a group of science fiction fans come together, they find that an
organization may be formed that will be a pleasurable and enjoyable activity
over a very long period of time. The Minn-Stf, formed in 1966, records this
document on 15 June, 1968 so that future members of the organization may have
something on which to work and mold the club for its benefit.
