NESFA events are canceled until further notice because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
NESFA events are highlighted like this. Non-NESFA events at the clubhouse are highlighted like this. Extraordinary and exceptional events, dates, and reminders are highlighted like this.
Please report any errors, and any relevant events which are not listed but are in or near New England or otherwise of interest to NESFA members, to calendar@nesfa.org.
In addition to the activities listed here, some NESFA members gather at the clubhouse almost every Wednesday evening to work, socialize, and play games (often Dominion). The building is almost always open between 6 pm and 10 pm on Wednesday evenings, and often later. When the weather is inclement, please call 617-625-2311 to make sure that there are people at the clubhouse before showing up.
The dumpster will be emptied every two weeks on Mondays (except on Tuesday when Monday is a holiday).
Please leave a clear path to the dumpster, and plenty of clear space around it on pickup days.
In 2020, upcoming dumpster pickup dates are Jul 6 & 20, Aug 3, 17 & 31, Sep 14 & 28, Oct 12 & 26, Nov 9 & 23, Dec 7 & 21.
The clubhouse will be cleaned by professional cleaners on the first Friday of every month (except July in 2020).
Please schedule your activities so as not to interfere with their work.
In 2020, upcoming clubhouse cleaning dates are Jul 2, Aug 7, Sep 4, Oct 2, Nov 6, Dec 4.
