Now this is my actual post.
I have participated in many fan groups over the past 11 plus years. This problem ALWAYS rears it's ugly head.
First, we must remember that STAR WARS is a fantasy UNIVERSE...not the real world even if occationally it does mirror it. Politics is not really something that should be played here. Second, we are a DIVERSE group with ONLY ONE basic tie, we love playing STAR WARS in our freee time. WE all part company on many roads beyond that basic interest so we can't please all of the people with all of our actions, but rather should be tolerant within reason to our differences.
This is our playtime. WE need to keep it light and not take ourselves so damn seriously. There are issues which we can address on a more serious level, but this does NOT have to be the place. Charitable contributions of time, money and effort should be left to the groups who have that as one of their main functions, ie 501st, Rebel Legion, The American Red Cross, etc... The FANFORCE is playtime and the sooner we stop trying to make it OUR JOB and OUR IDENTITY, the sooner we can get back to having a good time with our similar interest.
Personaly, if I want to do something charitable, I would like it to be out of the goodness of my heart, not because it was mandated by an organization I participate in. I would like to do charitable functions, but let the other organizations organize them, spend their money, time and energy while I come to lend my support when I can. I like to do public appearances to raise awareness of a cause or raise money for it. I like to help carry banners or help get the word out by participating. That is the extent of my desired involvment in community events.
My whole reason for being in a fan club is to make friends with other fans, play fantatsy games, dress as a character, entertain folks with my fun, get out of the house and see things that interest me in reguards to SCI-FI. Nothing more, nothing less. I never had a desire to hold an office or direct the chapter only to help it continue and to have some fun doing it. If I have done anything political, or stepped on anyone's toes or taken myself far too seriously, I do sincerely apologize. But I have tried to play fair, be productive, and have fun. I have not tried to do that at anyone else's expense and apologize if it has ever appeared that way. I do feel I have much to contribute to continuing the chapter, and will continue to do my best to do what I can to keep things on the high road side.
My interest in fandom is as follows:
I love costuming, movies, LARPing, reading, going to conventions, meeting celebrities and entertaining the mundanes with my passion for SCI-FI. I have a small collection of toys, books and working on enlarging my artwork of same genre. My closet is full of costumes and I sell a few to the public. Other than that, I have no political aspirations or desire for leadership postions.
Nuff said...

Is this day change for the TRU DVD release or for the thread of the open meeting?
As it stands now the open meeting will be at a public venue instead of my apt. I am unable to secure anyplace for the 8th. I can secure Beef O' Bradys for Sun. the 16th. This is located in the Tri City Plaza next to Public's in Largo, down the street from my apt. I need to hear from everyone who is planning on attending as I Beef's now is following other establishments and requires a deposit for the back meeting room. Please let me know ASAP.
Thank you

Thanks for letting me know...it is a better day and date for me also...This is still for discussion and letting each other know what you feel about how the chapter should progress. Right now I see choices of no real structure except CR and fans getting together to have fun and go to different functions, like movies, workshops, fan events, etc. Structure in some form, lots of work and responsiblity for all and a solid commitment by those in chair person positions, elections and possibly more discontent.
We all have a common ground or 2 here and we all need to have fun with fandom.
Thank you
Marie
