From einblatt-list@mnstf.org Thu Nov 3 11:42:04 2022 Date: Thu, 3 Nov 2022 10:22:44 From: Einblatt Subject: Einblatt Current (November/December 2022) It's the November Einblatt! Halloween has come and gone, and the winter holidays are firmly contained in December where they belong. Since December generally never has events to report, I'll be announcing both November and December events & taking the next month off. So there'd better not be any major life-changing events announced in December or else. Minn-STF News: The next Minn-STF meeting is theoretically happening on the 19th, with a virtual Minicon meeting happening on the 30th. There's also theoretical Minn-STF meetings on December 3rd & 17th. Richard Tatge hosts a weekly GAME PARTY at Dream Park! 6:30 to late every Friday evening (excluding conventions). Board, card, and hobby games in splendid profusion. Huge collection, but feel free to bring your own. Covid vaccination required; masks may be required depending on conditions. Munchies provided. 4002 Pillsbury Ave S., Minneapolis, MN 55409. Phone: (612) 827-3228.
