    OLD BUSINESS
    -September Meeting – minutes from the September meeting at Village Inn are on the boards
    -Star Wars Reads Day – The outside location turned out to be a nice setting. Not a lot of kids at the Central Library location. The Athmar location was very grateful to have costumed characters for the first time. DieWompRatDie’s Shakespeare reading of Greedo’s role was “sublime”

    NEW BUSINESS
    -Hauntings at the Hangar – Oct 31st, 9-4. Setup will be Friday 10/30 from 5-9. Complete a background check authorization (here), if you have not already done so. Will create a Facebook event for the 31st. PM or Facebook Kim SithChick if you are unsure if you’re on the background check list. Attendees are asked to bring a bag or two of candy.
    -Rocky Mountain Con – RMFF will not try to staff a table this time around.
    -Episode VII Premier – Tickets are rumored to be onsale after the new trailer release on Monday. RMFF will attend the 7:00 (hopefully) showing on the 17th together at the Continental and then staff premier events on the 18th. Rumors are circulating that theatres will be running Episodes 1-6 marathons leading up to the Premier, but the Continental does not have these plans at this time. The Continental does not allow assigned seats, so we will need to be in line early to grab good seats. Events on the 18th will include the green screen, R2-D2 and BB-8 from the droid builders and a possible representative from Sphero. Donations generated will benefit Urban Peak.
    -Thanksgiving potluck – Jackie will follow up with TaraLibrarian to confirm details on reserving the library for our potluck. A sign-up sheet will be started on the boards for dishes. The idea was suggested to buy a pre-made dinner for the main course.
    -December meeting – Dec 5th at Nerferder’s house. The December meeting will be Krampus themed, so read up on what this will entail. Time to be determined. Bring a white elephant gift for the exchange

    STAR WARS NEWS
    -New soundtrack releases scheduled for January. Episodes 1-6 CD’s with DVD: $70, ultimate digital collection: $50, all vinyl collection: $240. Episode VII soundtrack will be released 12/18. Battlefront soundtrack has been leaked

Spoiler-heavy, making of books will not be released until Spring of 2016.

    OTHER OPEN DISCUSSION
    -Float – the float needs to be rebuilt this year from the baseboards up. David Scott will be heading up the design and construction. A patch is being designed (3 week design window) to help fund the float as well as the cost of parade entrance fees. The theme will be a sandcrawler with kids in brown robes. If there are surplus funds, an upgraded sound system will be purchased as well. Cost is projected to be $350-$450. The cost of the float has been agreed to be RMFF’s responsibility. Donations are welcome.
