WSFA will be holding its annual election on Friday, May 7th.

Given the virtual nature of our meetings at this time, and given that one or more offices are in contention, the WSFA Remote Voting Website (https://wsfa.org/rv) will be used by the members of WSFA to cast their votes for these offices.

The Remote Voting Users Guide can be downloaded here:

This document will give you all the information you need to log into the the Remote Voting Website and to cast your votes in the election.

A separate email will be sent to all WSFA members with their unique Usernames.

If you remember the password you set last year, you’ll be able to log in directly. Otherwise, please use the “Reset Password” button on the homepage. This will send a link to your the email address we have on file for you … the same email address to which I will be sending your username. This link will give you the information you need to change your password and to access the site.

If you do not receive an email with your username by evening of May 5th, then either you are not currently a paid up member of WSFA, and you will need to contact Sam S. in order to pay your dues, or the email address I have on file for you is not one you are reading. If you do not receive your information, please contact me at ‘webmaster’ at our website ‘wsfa.org’. I will be able to tell you which of the two situations is occurring so that the matter can be fixed.

Please do log in before the night of the election so that any issues can be dealt with in an orderly manner with sufficient time.

Prior to the time of the election, the system will be set up with three test ballots for reference purposes. Feel free to try them out so that you’ll feel comfortable with how the system works.

The website has been tested in Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Edge. I don’t have access to other browsers for testing, but the code was specifically designed to meet internet standards and I do not anticipate any issues. Obviously, if you do encounter any, please let me know.

There will be a reading from Ted Weber. He’s read to us live but this will be our first online reading.

And afterward, the Committee to Discuss SF will discuss the current issue 39 of Uncanny Magazine, which you can read online at https://uncannymagazine.com/ 

This one has stories by our neighbor Sarah Pinsker, former Capclave GoH Carrie Vaughn, former GoH Cat Valente, and others.  Find out why Uncanny has three stories on the Hugo Finalists list.

The Committee to Discuss SF will discuss the Jan/Feb issue of Asimov’s

Tonight is the Fifth Friday in January. This means a non-business, just for fun meeting.  It is not quite as big a deal as a fifth Friday would be next month, but the next Datclave won’t be for another 15 years. So in the meantime, let’s do a zoom party!

Eat your own food and drink your own drinks as you chat with your science fictional friends. We’ll open up breakout rooms for Politics, Conventions, SF/Fantasy, and General. We can hang out and chat almost like we did in the old days before the great pandemic hit.  Hope to see you there.
