[1] Several staffers of the then-recently concluded Noreascon I, the 29th World Science Fiction Convention, met during a July 1974 at a party in Boxboro, Massachusetts, and established MCFI to bid for a Boston Worldcon in 1980.
[2] MCFI's founders needed a new administrative corporation for that purpose because Noreascon I has been run as a one-shot effort, and thus its sponsoring group, Boston in 71, had been dissolved after that event.
In 2011, MCFI bid Boston[6] for the 2013 North American Discworld Convention, and lost to Baltimore.
[7] The group has published convention materials in various media including digital.
[8] MCFI's charitable and educational work includes supporting the SF Outreach book giveaway [9] at Wondercon in 2011.
