Many of you may already know that NESFA (New England Science Fiction Association) is the organization behind Boskone. It’s a terrific group that has consistently put on one of the best SF conventions around in addition to doing a lot of work within the greater SF and Fantasy community. BUT did you know that you could become a member of NESFA, too?
Since the question recently came up, I thought it might be handy to cross-post the “Why join NESFA?” blurb from the NESFA web page.
For $16 subscribing annual membership to NESFA, you receive: all issues of Instant Message, detailing the club’s activities and providing information on upcoming events; borrowing privileges from the constantly updated NESFA library, with thousands of books and magazines; up to 40% discounts on most NESFA Press publications (when picked up in person at the Clubhouse or a convention Sales Table); and opportunities to meet fellow fans and get involved in running Boskone, publishing books, and numerous other activities. For those wishing to be more involved, many opportunities exist.
How do I join NESFA?
Send a check or money order for $16 to us at:
NESFAPO Box 809
Framingham, MA 01701
Or come see us at the clubhouse.
