	i have some joe corroney art that was donated last year but didn't arrive till after the event and I had moved. Parents held onto it and it's been in storage until now. I'll try to get out sometime to drop it off. -----signature----- Board of Director member http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h133/danacampa/carrick-1.gif

	I believe this May will be the 10th anniversary of The Phantom Menace. Something to consider. -----signature----- Rebel Legion Canadian Base CO, 501st Legion Member IC-3909 http://www.mtfbwy.ca

	This year is the 10th anniversary of the 501st. as well. A phantom menace theme would be good. To bad we don't have anyone from that movie. -----signature----- London Rogues Board of Directors , former CEO 2007/08. Founder of London Rogues Imperial Garrison. aka. Darth Influenza. 501st.

We're creative and we have lots of time to put something together. I wouldn't mind resurrecting my Jedi costume. There are lots of options that aren't too difficult to make: Jedi, handmaidens, Naboo citizens, Tatooine citizens, Gungans. Perhaps we could see if there are any nearby Queen Amidalas or Darth Mauls who would be willing to come to London for the event. -----signature----- Rebel Legion Canadian Base CO, 501st Legion Member IC-3909 http://www.mtfbwy.ca

	We have to pick a good day. It's been hard getting people from out of town to come to our events. Darthsolvo's little brother could do a young Anakin and his other brother does a Jawa. Rebellaka has a Darth Maul mask but little John likes to play that character and I have a Jar-Jar mask. Fantyx does a Obi-wan We could build some battle droids out of styrofoam at the garrison. That's something that could be used late for something like the santa claus parade on a float. -----signature----- London Rogues Board of Directors , former CEO 2007/08.

	I've always wanted to make a handmaiden costume, I just need to find the right fabric. Cotton velvet is hard to find, as synthetic fabric is difficult to dye. -----signature----- http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?Rabellaka I don't want players to feel like Luke Skywalker.

	I guess there's nothing that says we have to be so literal. It is just a theme. We could promote the event as a celebration of the Tenth Anniversary of Star Wars Episode One, but we don't necessarily all have to dress as Episode 1 characters. Looking at the calendar, Sat., May 2 is Free Comic Day, Sun., May 10 is Mother's Day, and Mon., May 18 is Victoria Day. If the aim is to hold the celebration before the long weekend, then Sat., May 9 might be a good candidate. -----signature----- Rebel Legion Canadian Base CO, 501st Legion Member IC-3909 http://www.mtfbwy.ca

	I left my notes behind when they evacuated us, but I'll put down what I can remember, and edit everything later. Date: Saturday May 9th, 2009 10th Anniversary of Star Wars Episode 1, The Phantom Menace Time: 9:00 am to 3:00 pm Arrive at park at 6:00 am to claim our spot, cleanup at 4:00 pm Rain or shine, we have plenty of activities for both Due to the current economic climate, we will not be asking stores for sponsership this year. Instead we will acknowledge those who sponsered us last year, and scale down the prizes for events. The possible exception is Rainbow Cinemas. Only children 12 and under will receive prizes. Teens/adults will receive a certificate instead. Events include: Children's colouring contest Thermal Detonator toss Wookie bowcaster shoot Jedi-Padawan three-legged race Stormtrooper march tug-of-war costume contest lightsaber dueling contest Also there will be a Star Wars trivia game, but this is for fun, not for prizes. We will also make a waiver for people to sign covering the entire event. Pillows and T-shirts will be for sale, and there will be bookmarks, doorhangers and masks available as well. Advertizing: We will be doing our park walks in costume in April, as well as downtown. We will have flyers and posters made up to give out. Rob will also speak to his media contacts. Jobs: Some of the sign-up sheets for events were found, so those do not need to made again. Trivia game: Rabellaka Costume Contest forms and judging criteria: Rabellaka fabricating Thermal Detonators: Lord_Robert Modifying bowcaster: Lord_Robert Posters and flyers: jedidougcdn Needed: Foam sabers from dollar stores, VOLUNTEERS!!!! That's all I remember for now. I'll edit this as needed. -----signature----- http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?Rabellaka I don't want players to feel like Luke Skywalker.

	I think you remembered everything. One of my friends has told me she should be able to volunteer. She just needs to confirm that she is off work that day. While I agree that getting prizes in these difficult economic times might be a challenge, I think it's worth mentioning to previous sponsors our intentions for this year's event, and see if they are interested in contributing anything - though without any expectation from them to do so. You never know. Sometimes when times are tough, people are at their most generous. My friend Tracy who works at Central Library confirmed that the posters were up last year in the hallway near the old Speaker's Corner. She suggested we give them enough copies of the poster to be put up at all the branches, which I plan to do. I've been thinking of a design for the poster, and rather than using existing Lucasfilm artwork (which is also copyrighted, BTW), I'd like to do some original photography using London landmarks to cement the message that this is a local organization. Lord_Robert, would you be willing to model in costume? -----signature----- Rebel Legion Canadian Base CO, 501st Legion Member IC-3909 http://www.mtfbwy.ca

	Rabellaka posted: We will be doing our park walks in costume in April, as well as downtown. Perhaps we could co-ordinate one of the walks downtown with an evening when there is an event at the JLC such as a Knights game. When those let out, there are tons of people on the streets, especially families. -----signature----- Rebel Legion Canadian Base CO, 501st Legion Member IC-3909 http://www.mtfbwy.ca
