    You would probably need to start one yourself, to get more info on starting one you can PM me or an RSA for the Midwest Region (which I believe you fall under).

    The Midwest RSA's are:

    Mirax80

    Starting a Fan Force isn't necissarily as hard as it sounds, I got help starting one from Earwen_Lightrider back when she was Spokane Fan Force's CR

    Thanks, Daniel for reopening this.

    As a former n00b . . . many years ago and a few user names ago I highly encourage you as a new person to the boards to see if there is a fan force chapter in your area. This is an excellent way to meet fellow fans and increase your social circle. As I always say "We don't bite . . . hard" :p

    I'm the current Chapter Representative of the Charlotte Fan Force. We get together at least once a month for our book club. We also have board game events, movie outings, get together for book releases and anything else we can figure out to do to have fun.

    We have folks as far away as Salisbury, Rock Hill, SC and past Hickory Grove who come to join us so we cover a wide area.

    Feel free to stop by our boards and see what is happening. The link is above or you can go to the main menu and click on the Fan Force: Southeast Region.

    May the Force Be With You!

    If you live close to Albany, Oregon, there is going to be an event there on Friday, February 1st.


    The complete info is as follows:

    It will be held at the Albany Public Library, which can be found at 1390 Waverly Dr. SE
    Albany, OR 97322.
    URL of Google map:
    http://maps.google.com/maps?q=1390+Waverly+Dr.+SE&ie=UTF8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&ll=44.630795,-123.076916&spn=0.019851,0.054245&z=15&iwloc=addr&om=1

    There will be an event that starts at 2:30 and goes until about 3:30, and then there may also be an event that runs from 4:00 until about 5:00 or 5:15. The first event will be geared more toward little kids, and the second event will be geared more toward older kids.

    Because of college classes, I will only be attending the second event, but I will be bringing lots of lightsabers, a surprise (if I can get it done in time), my Jedi robe, and a set of Mandalorian armor.

    Ghent - Basically, it is a group of Star Wars enthusiasts who are planning on getting together and doing some Star Wars activities. I know that there is going to be a Jeperdy style trivia game, and I am going to bring lots of stuff to show, which will include but not be limited to a lightsaber display, dueling lightsabers, my Jedi robe, my Mandolorian armor, and part of my Star Wars book collection. I will be giving a presentation on the process of building lightsabers, and I will of course try to answer any questions people may have about Star Wars in general and lightsabers in particular.

    Because Albany and Albany are on the opposite coasts. And Ghent is one of the members of this forum that I would really like to meet in person. Having one of maybe four people (Ghent, Dar_manda, MsLanna, Ruthie) who I would really like to meet in real life live within a few tens of miles from me would be a huge coincidence. Then finding out that it is Albany NY is just insanely funny in my book.

    *in high pitched whiny voice* Oh no! Whatever shall we do?

    *in normal voice* I am glad you are planning on coming, how close to Albany do you live?






    I know, there is a kid that I have mentored for the last six years, and he is so smart sometimes he scares me.[face_worried]

    No, sadly, I am not planning on attending.

    I was just mentioning that out of the list of all the lovely people you'd like to meet I am the only one that lives in the same state! :p
