Message from the chair
Hello and welcome to the Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society. LASFS is this planet’s oldest continuously running science fiction club. We have been meeting every Thursday since 1934. The history of this club is incredible. We were the first club of its kind to get our own clubhouse. I cannot tell you what an amazing honor it is to be the current chairman of the Board of Directors for this awesome club.
As wonderful and interesting as our history is, its the future that we are looking toward. A future that we invite you to be a part of. LASFS has always been a leader in the fannish community, a community that spans the globe.
LASFS is one of the most diverse groups. All ethnicities and national origins, religions, and political leanings are welcome here. We all one club and share the love of the genre. Our members also vary in occupation. We have experts in many of the scientific fields, movie and animation, librarians, lawyers, and much more, including published authors. We are sure you will be able to find interesting conversations with fellow members.
Cheers,
Michelle Pincus
Chairman of the
Board of Directors for LASFS
