    Yes, it's that time of year again, folks. Time for the Chicago Force Holiday Toy Drive!
    Join Chicago Force this holiday season as we try to brighten up the lives of area children on behalf of the Chicago sci-fi fan community! All toys from this years drive will be turned over to Toys for Tots.
    Our kickoff to the drive will be at this years WindyCon! Yes, WindyCon has generously let Chicago Force have a table at this years convention and we will be accepting new, unwrapped toys on Saturday and Sunday.
    After that, our toy box will be moving to Graham Crackers in Wheaton. It will be housed there until the Chicago Force Holiday Party, our final toy drop of the year. You can also donate toys at any one of our scheduled events. So bring a Boba to the BookClub, an RC Car to the RPG, we will gladly accept and add it to our box of goodies.

    WindyCon is held in Schaumburg Il at the Hyatt
    Graham Crackers Comics is at 1207 Butterfield Rd in Wheaton, IL

    I just like to take the time to thank Jimmy of Graham Crackers Comics for allowing us to put up the box at Graham Crackers this year and also for his generous donation of toys. Also a shot out to Phyllis and ThomSolo for their contributions over the weekend.

    Dang! I had an extra Yoda too, but I forgot to leave him yesterday. Well, at least I left a clonetrooper and an Anakin last month.
