PAGE 2 (THE GREATER NEW YORK CHAPTER, S.F.L.) JEDDARA ------------------------------------ ------------------------------------- MINUTES OF THE MEETING ------------------------------------- QUEENS CHAPTER OF THE SCIENCE FICTION LEAGUE (Now called GREATER NEW YORK CHAPTER) There were twelve present at the April Queens SFL meeting-----the largest number yet. There were two visitors, Jack Rubinson and Herman Leventman. Before the meeting was over Leventman expressed a desire to join the Chapter and was unanimously amitted. It was decided that books and magazines may be borrowed from the newly-begun library by members for one month without cost. A fine of 10c is to be imposed for each month that the article is kept thereafter. William S. Sykora asked for clarification of a sentence in the first meeting's minutes which read: "All proposed members must receive a unanimous vote of the Society in order to enter." Was this to mean all members, or all members present? The question was put to a vote and it was decided that only the members present would be allowed to vote on the election of a proposed member. Robert G. Thompson submitted a story, "A Tale of the Coamos" for publication in the Chapter organ. Herbert E. Goudket read the story aloud and all were of the opinion that it was well worth printing. It will appear in the September issue of JEDDARA. Hereafter, any member of THE SCIENCE FICTION LEAGUE who resides in New York City may join the Queens Chapter. It was resolved that a member, after three consecutive absences, may be informed that, unless he appear at the next meeting, or give a good reason for not doing so, be automatically dropped from the rolls. And, should a member not pay dues for a period of three months, he, too, shall be dropped. Goudket made a motion, which was passed, that the Chapter should adopt no constitution, but conduct affairs according to precedent and majority vote. Donald A. Wollheim's motion, which stated that two blackballs hereafter be necessary to bar a prospective member, instead of one, was also passed. Thompson then suggested that the Chapter produce a play, of a scientictional nature, which would need no special effects merely simple crystals and beards. A discussion of this suggestion was tabled by a majority vote. The meeting was adjorned. -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o- Meeting of May, 1938 The May meeting was a short one becuase many of the members, to get to the Flushing headquarters from Manhattan and Brooklyn, had to pass thru the New York World's Fair grounds, and were delayed by traffic and arrived quite late. John Giunto, amateur fantasy artist from Brooklyn, was elected
