'''MCFI''', the organization behind [[Noreascon]] Four, the 62nd [[World Science Fiction Convention]], was created in 1974 by the people who ran Noreascon (1971) under the auspices of [[NESFA]]. Its purpose was to bid for a Boston [[Worldcon]] in 1980. It ran Noreascon Two (1980) and Noreascon Three (1989). Remarkably, the chairmen of all three previous Noreascons are still active members of the organization.

MCFI is a [[501(c)(3)]] tax-exempt non-profit corporation.

MCFI has also run [[Smofcon]] 3 (1986), [[Smofcon]] 15 in Boston, MA, December 5-7, 1997, [[Ditto]] 11 in Newport, RI, November 6-8, 1998, and the 25th [[World Fantasy Convention]] in Providence, RI, November 4-7, 1999. It also will run [[Smofcon]] 25 in Boston, MA, December 7-9, 2007.

MCFI is a separate legal entity from [[NESFA]], though there is a large overlap in membership, and holds its meetings in the [[NESFA]] Clubhouse.
