Sounds good

I got 6 scrunchies done, but my sewing machine broke (literally, a piece broke off the bobbin section) so I can't use it unless I can get a replacement piece or borrow a sewing machine.

Okay i went to the chum station today when I was toronto and I dropped off our information and a store poster for them. I was able to talk to Kim and she'll forward it to the manager of the space show.

I'm sure they'll rush right over. Not!

They don't do small potatos.


also brandon, I made up some guest list sheets because I didn't think we talked about where they heard about the event. So don't print any of them off.

Kind of too late. But i can put them in the recycling bin tomorrow and i'm sure someone can use them. Plus i thought the sheets were for our own records to show to some of the bigger businesses how many people we had.

Wow! We hit it big. We're going National

I just got a call from David Chidly of Canadian Press who saw our add in the paper and is coming out. He said that he told the office in Toronto and they want him to cover it. If you don't know what the Canadian Press is that where papers like the Globe and other National papers get stories.



ps. Brandon sorry. Andrew brought up the idea that we should also try to find out how they heard about it, so that next year we'll hit the most popular areas harder.

Great job everyone.

We had between 125 & 150 people come out. I had fun and I got a lot of great pictures.
I think we learned alot about how to have events like this and it will go smother next time.
Remember to watch the news and check out all the papers.

heya guys. it's me Chris, the Trekkie grin i was wondering if those of you who snapped a pic of me if you could just send me a copy of it/them via email. it's christophercurran@gmail.com I'm also interested in joining you guys.

Edit:
I thought of an idea you guys might want to try and incorporate into next year's event. perhaps, someone could bring a stereo and have various tunes from the movies playing throughout the event. i found myself humming various themes from it, ie the Duel of the Fates when i was fighting, or when the population of Vaders had increased noticable i'd hum to myself the imperial march. would give it more a star wars-y feel. just a thought

we can't do that due to the park rules. So there was no way we could play the music if we wanted to.

Welcome Starfleetjedi & Fantyx

Fantyx couldn't open that file. We do seem to have those diffences in formats between members.

Isn't that right Brandon.

lil-godess-girl was going to bring a sterio, coolers, banner, donation sign and a volunteer but she never showed. I sometimes think she quit and forgot to tell anyone.

Starfleetjedi enjoy the pic's

Also anyone can join, just take a look through some of the threads to find out what's going on. We list every thing that we are doing for the month under monthly meeting. Who ever starts the thread should always up date the first posting.

If you guys don't mind I keep a members info list that only Janet and myself have access to. So if you could sent me your full name, address, phone# and e-mail I can add you in. If you click on my name you can send a privite message. This is just so that if you get a little busy, like we all do and forget to check the boards we can send you a message and let you know when something is coming up.

Use winrar. You can download it free. Zip doesn't compress the files well enough.
I added another zipped archive at www.fantyxservers.com/starwars.zip
Windows can use that fine.

If you didn't get the London Free Press. You better go get it, on page B9 they have a write up on us. There is a large picture of chewy (tom) petting a dog and a pic of the little Darth Vader & Darth Maul.


If you didn't get the paper you can still see it on the web London Free Press
