the Treasurer was present & last week we took in $11.25 in the regular jar & $8.50 in the aprty jar
the VP had nothing fannish to report
the President had nothing fannish to report, but said 'hi' to Vikof, visiting us for the first time

Lisa announced that the 1st weekend in October will have a Convolution committee meeting at the New Englander pub in Santa Rosa

REVIEWS:
The secretary reviewed 'The Hitman's Bodyguard' as funny and enjoyable, worth full price
Bill reviewed their trip, saying they got to play tourist in Stockholm & recommends the Vasa museum as a few hours were not enough, the subway system is good and they enjoyed the food
Andy reviewed the finale of 'Twin Peaks' as absolutely gorgeous and he had no idea what happened in it
Mo reviewed the 5th & final season of 'The Strain' as it's absolutely worth full price & has some truly horrific moments
Adrienne reviewed the SF ComicCon as not her usual type of con & it seemed like she spent her whole day standing in lines. Mo enjoyed it & the air conditioning, John O noted that the dealers really liked the weekend, Dave went on Saturday & enjoyed himself; the media guests were given high marks & it was recommended for next year & there was mention that there was a fair amount of people of color in attendance and in costume, which is encouraging
John O reviewed the 'Inhumans' IMAX premiere as done well, fairly well-acted & he's looking forward to the series & saw the re-release of 'Close Encounters' as still nice
there were auctions
Adjourned 9:14
And the rumor of the week = 'Spherical rabbits are all the rage'
