Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle and Steve Barnes attend now. Slowly outgrowing rented facilities, we bought our first clubhouse in 1974, and moved to our present, larger, facility. The society is chartered as a non-profit educational and literary institution. It maintains a large library of science-fiction and fantasy books, magazines and videos.
