Doors open at 7pm weekly on Thursday evenings for our 8pm meeting. Guests can peruse the shelves before and after the procedural agenda.

The March 22nd Housewarming event opens at 1pm and will feature panels with professional writers, Larry Niven, Craig Miller, and Gene Turnbow on how LASFS influenced their careers and a second panel of LASFS Officers, past and present, on the history of LASFS and the clubhouses. There will be a fundraising auction of genre memorabilia to benefit the organization.
