We're making build-your-own sandwiches for dinner.

We've got ham, chicken, and roast beef, and swiss, cheddar, and havarti cheese. We got a goat muenster cheese. We've got a variety of buns from Cub. We've got buns and some sandwich bread from Sift Bakery. I'll be slicing up a couple of tomatoes and onions, there are bread & butter and dill pickles, and boston bibb lettuce. Ordinary and kewpie mayo, horseradish sauce, and at least two different kinds of mustard.

We've got M&Ms, cinnamon rolls, and a variety pack of Lays snack packs.

We'll be digging out creampuffs from the freezer.

Lilly & Evelyn will be providing a variety of sugar and sugar-free pop.

Traditional Minnstf party/meeting in lovely south Minneapolis house with a beautiful deck. Party snacks and beer will be provided. There are a couple of cats on the premises, but they are shy and will probably be hiding. Extra folding or lawn chairs would be appreciated. Counts towards voting eligibility in this year's Board of Directors election. If you're new to Minn-StF, you should know that our "meetings" are actually parties. The business meeting (5 minutes of announcements) will typically take place between 5-6pm. Bringing food or beverage to share is encouraged, but not required. Hosts will provide some food and beverage.

Most years, Minn-Stf runs a small con in the fall, a fallcon. It's mostly a 3-day party for hanging out with new and old friends. Sometimes it has programming, and sometimes it doesn't, it's up to the chair! The Board is soliciting bids to run one of these in 2024.

We're also open to proposals to hold a con like this outside the fall, or proposals to run an entirely different format of con.

What we'd like to see in a bid, and some successful bids from the past, can be found at https://mnstf.org/conproposals.php

Note that we do not expect fallcons to make a profit.

Time: 4-11pm
Location: 690 Broadway St NE, Minneapolis, MN 55413

From the board:

"Is anyone interested in running Minicon 57 other than Matt and Isaac? The board would like to hear of any interest by Tuesday June 21. A complete proposal is not necessary by that time, but if we hear no replies, we will assume no interest. Part of our urgency is related to possible GoH selection for Minicon 57."

Write to [email protected] if interested.

(The upcoming Minicon is 56. Minicon 57 would be in 2024.)
