The Minnesota Society for
Interest In Science Fiction and Fantasy (MISFITS)
is a non-profit organization with a mission of increasing
literacy, community service, and community building.
MISFITS also serves as
a forum and foundation for celebrating diversity and works to
promote the appreciation of, and interest in, Science Fiction
and Fantasy.
MISFITS works with
people of all ages, ethnic identities, and socio-economic
backgrounds to enhance literacy; reaching out to youth and
adults in need of reading, writing and computing skills. The
ability to express one's thoughts and feelings in different
mediums is a skill that should be nurtured and practiced, no
matter what the age. MISFITS
realizes that for our children, literacy is the key to
a happy, successful future.
Club
Expectations
In an effort to help insure
that MISFITS continues to meet the criteria established by the
State of Minnesota for a non profit, the MISFITS Coordinators have
established some minimum club expectations.
Please be aware that these
expectations can and will change based upon the needs of the
organization and the requirements of the State of Minnesota.
- Recruit new
members to the club.
Are we looking for a "magic number" of new people each year?
No. The intent is that the club is making an effort to
attract new members.
- Advertise club
meetings.
Just that. Publish something showing your meeting date(s),
times(s) and location(s) along with who to contact for
questions and how to reach them. This can be done with a
simple listing on the MISFITS web site. If you have other
sources, those would be fine too. It would be helpful if you
included a short description of the club and its activities.
- Attend a minimum
of ONE Event meeting and ONE Working meeting per year.
The person attending the
Event/Working meeting can be either
the club leader/facilitator or a current club member.
- Volunteer a
minimum of ONE hour at the MISFITS room party at
CONvergence.
The volunteer can be either the club
leader/facilitator or a current club member. If your club
wants to volunteer more than one hour or more than one
person, great!!! We would love to see you all at the Room
Party.
If you have any questions or
concerns about these expectations, please contact one of the
MISFITS Coordinators.
