Greetings!! I'm cutting this letter for Lee Hoffman's QUANDRY in the hope of reaching as many Southern Fans as possible, and to lay before them an idea that I have had running through what the scientists like to call my brains. In few words it's this -- with southern fandom as scattered and ineffective as it is, I propose to unite southern fans and fan clubs, under an organization temporarily known as the Southern Fantasy Association. SFA is solely for the purpose of bringing together Southern Fandom in order to do more things in a bigger and better way, get acquainted, and generally speaking, have a whale of a lot of fun in doing what all fans get a kick out of doing. Each club and individual fan will continue whatever line of activity they now follow and retain their Individual Identity .. only, in belonging to an Association, a club or fan would be able to immediately contact other fans and clubs and obtain help in putting across a pet peoject ... nearby clubs would and could make personal contacts and hold their own little meetings and while we are on that subject, they can be just plain meetings and not necessarily Conventions. ... I have been cautioned to be careful that SFA does not oppose any other club. SFA certainly will N-O-T go in for opposition to any person or organization. How can it oppose any club when SFA would consist of an association of several clubs? Insofar as opposing any club goes, SFA will, to the contrary, endeavor to work in fullest co-operation. SFA is only for enjoying the fullest the benefits of Fiction Fandom ... At present, we are concentrating on organizing. No dues will be asked for some time. The thing we want to do now, is organize .. obtain officers for the various offices .. line up sufficient members to make the Association possible. THEN .. in the Official Organ, which capacity Lee Hoffman has consented to fill with QUANDRY until we have our own, our members can be given suggested plans for voting on. A Constitution will be drawn up and ratified by the membership, the dues set after a membership vote. Those who are interested in the SFA .. especially Club Presidents -- can write me at the above address. The following is a listing of the membership in SFA and Ye Editor is asked to send each one a copy of QUANDRY that carries this letter. Thank You, Ed ......
