I kept meaning to post about this but forget...

If folks are unaware there is a sister city/chapter program through FanForce. For example, North Ridge and the Hothlanta Rebels are sister chapters. Currently (to the best of my knowledge) we are "sisterless". If folks are interested I can add our chapter to the list and see if someone would like to be our sister city.

Well, it's more of a virtual twin chapter. But, depending on what city it turns out to be we might be able to visit them in person.

Sounds cool. May I suggest a sister city that's sunny and warm, say... Phoenix, Arizona? Tampa, Florida? That'd make any visits nice. Sadly, the same cannot be said for them visiting us... "Hey, Sister City Fans: come to our cold, grey-skied city for a visit! Dress warmly!"

I signed us up as "looking for a twin", but I'm not sure what other cities are participating and/or sisterless at the moment.

I probably won't know for a bit yet...
I think more chapters need to sign up so that we can start pairing off.

Sounds neat - maybe it will be in a city with a cool con or a chance at an exciting exhibit to visit. Or perhaps a sister city in another country and a chance to trade some unique collectibles. cool

CR: strawbary
Other Info: We have been around for 3 1/2 years. We all have very diverse interests. some of us are heavy into Film making, some EU , Some costuming...... We are all scattered around but we still manage to get together and cause a little chaos now and again

Chapter Name: Mos Eisley Port Authority
City: New York, NY
Area: Northeast
Number of Members: 10-15 Active
CR: citizenjohn
Other Info: Our group is into alot of things from costuming to hanging out to going to a movie. We are active with other groups in and around our area. We also do alot of work within our community.

Chapter Name: Jedi Training Academy, Provo Campus
City: Provo, UT
Area: Southwest
Number of Members: 5-10
CR: Darthishtar
Other Info: We're a whole lot of fun people and we have 5 strong members at every activity, plus a few hang-on college students and others.

Chapter Name: The New Jersey Order
City: Jersey
Area: North East USA
Number of Members: We have 9 regulars but have many more that are interested and who post on our boards.
Chapter Rep: DarthGyos
Other Info: We became official on March 15 and since then we have become very close with SWNYC and DB516. New Jersey Order Homapage.

Chapter Name: The Tidewater Alliance
City: Norfolk, VA
Area: NorthEast US
Number of Members: Roughly 10
City Rep: jediknight88
Other Info: The Tidewater Alliance Homepage

Chapter Name: Boston Rebels
City: Boston, MA
Area: North East USA
Number of Members: 15
CR: StarWarsChick14
Other Info: Boston Rebels, The Darth Vader World Tour

Chapter Name: The Middle Georgia Star Wars Fan Club
City: Macon, Georgia, United States
Area: Southeast
Number of Members: 8-10 Active
CR: Allie Fox (A native New Yorker)
Website: Macon Clones.com
Other Info: The Middle Georgia Star Wars Fan Club is a thriving group growing from the very rural region in the middle of the Peach State. There is a very devoted membership with some members traveling nearly 60 miles (each way). Members enjoy discussing recent Star Wars developments and other “genre” topics as well as going to movies and breaking bread together. The group produced a fan film that was selected as a finalist in the 2005 Star Wars Fan Film Contest.

Chapter Name: The Outer Rim
City: Southern New Mexico (mainly Las Cruces)
Area: Southwest America
Number of Members: 10-12
CR: Jaina Byrd
Other Info: We're a fairly new Fanforce, about six months old. Our growth is slow right now, but those of us that are in it are very loyal. We have a few very avid collectors, and many of us are interested in EU stuff. We'd be really excited to have a twin FF!

So does anyone have an opinion of which chapter we should approach to be our "twin"? In some cases it's hard to tell just by visiting the club's city boards because some cities have private boards. A good example of that is the Macon Clones. Their FF forums look dead, but they have private boards on their website www.maconclones.com. I think a good match would be a group that is as active as us. I think that Boston Rebels, Macon Clones, The Outer Rim, MEPA and NJO are all as active or more active than we are and might be good matches.

yeh syracuse is cheating LOL we do stuff all the time wink

The purpose of the Twin chapters is to unite chapters who may not always get together but could still be a possibility.

I honestly recommend twinning with someone who is further away then NY..... I honestly think it would be alot of fun getting to know a chapter in a galaxy far far away wink Perhaps you can exchange gift boxes periodically with that chapter with items you cannot get in your area/country.


Just a thought.......
then if you REALLy want to meet your twin chapter just imagine how fun a road trip to another country would be happy *giggles*

Why not Canada? thinking There have been some nice SF Canadian exclusive merchandise in the past. What a nice way to exchange those hard to find exclusives; instead of paying big bucks at a con.

I wouldn't mind a sister city in Canada, but right now the only one signed up to participate I didn't even bother to list above as it is debating on shutting down.
