2005: THE CLUB YEAR IN REVIEW
In a nut shell: Membership in the Association is down. Meeting attendance has significantly declined over the past six months. Generally speaking, the bookstore events are doing well. Here are the numbers.

The club's Special Interest Events are always in a state of flux. Films to Come and the Topic Discussion Group have been particularly strong. We have folded two of our events, the Science and Science Fiction Group and the Art of the Fantastic, into a four-in-one quarterly format along with the Voice of Science Fiction and Suspense Central on the second Monday of the month.
The following table shows attendance at the various S F A B C non meeting events of the past two years. The Anime Associates and the Bergen County Final Frontier events are not listed as they are effected by the meeting attendance.
