Quick one week reminder about the above post! Hope to see everyone on the 16th!

 

Just a quick heads up to anyone who might actually be reading this, the Tampa Star Wars Club under the SWGFA title will have a Fan Table at Celebration V in the Fan Fair Hall. Be sure to stop by and say hello!

 

Hey we should hook up again. We are kinda backing off of "Legion" activities for a while, but CV should be off the chain. Looking forward to seeing you guys again.

 

How do I join the club? I live outside Tampa and would love to join you guys.

 

I don't even know if one is around anymore-after CV though maybe a person or two is around-I'd love to join.

 

Hey guys, we are very much around! I've just sent you both info about the Tampa Star Wars Club which is part of the Star Wars Grand Florida Alliance. Hope to see you at our next event!

 

Thank you. I met some the GFA at CV. I was e-mailed the info on the event in October and hope to go.

 

Excellent, see you there!

 

Looking forward to making this event.

 

Just a quick reminder:
