Miana Kenobi reports:
"The Southern California fan forces joined up with the local 501st Garrison and Rebel Legion base for a multi-club BBQ in Orange County on Saturday August 25th. Good times were had by all."

Wow! It's really great to see a OFH Newsletter, especially when so much happened. Well done! 
But I'm sad to see that Finland got moved to the inactive forums. Hopefully some FFer come back to revive it soon.
And... Congratulations to all new blue ones! Have a good time and many meetings!

I came up with a question. Is this going to be posted as a article on FanForce.net? It seems to me that might be another good vehicle to get the update noticed. Also, perhaps a scrolling header in the FF Community.

No.
Actually, it wouldn't hurt to post it up there. Good thinking.
And Spike, I fixed a markup problem.

Thanks. I'm retarded when it comes to markups in general.
Posting in FF.N is a good idea actually.

I thought this was a monthly newsletter? I subscribed and haven't seen a new issue. I demand a refund.
Or at least a cookie.

You're right. We really let it slide. I'll take it up and compose a new one in the next couple of days.

I guess I really never get over here. 
I hadn't realized this was started.
Maybe a quarterly newsletter would work out better?
