    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."

    Obi Anne reports:

    "FanForce Romania is busy doing a fanfilm together and FF Sweden returned to their viking roots with some sailing."

    Wow! It's really great to see a OFH Newsletter, especially when so much happened. Well done! =D=

    But I'm sad to see that Finland got moved to the inactive forums. Hopefully some FFer come back to revive it soon. :D

    And... Congratulations to all new blue ones! Have a good time and many meetings! :D

    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. :p


    Actually, it wouldn't hurt to post it up there. Good thinking.


    And Spike, I fixed a markup problem. [face_blush]

    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. :p

    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. :oops:
    I hadn't realized this was started.
    Maybe a quarterly newsletter would work out better? [face_whistling]
