Greetings everyone. Celebration 3 preperation is going good. The banner has been printed up and so have most of the bumper stickers.
The one bit of RO news I have, is that RA Manijak is moving to ROA due to real life issues. He just doesnt have the time. In his place will be VA Ky Terrak #10358 as CA:RO. Congrats Ky.
Cyric, the FC approved over IRC, so if you could make the changes, I'd appreciate it. :)
If you want to see what the banner looks like, click on the Recruitment Manual link off of the Domain. Everything is going good with the printing.
I sent another email out to Mary Franklin, who also did an interview on Starwars.com. I'll let you guys know.
One more thing. With all the EHers who are going to be there, it would be a shame to not have some sort of party/meet or something. I'd like to put something together for everyone, but I'm not sure if I have the time. If someone coming to Celebration 3 would like to volunteer to put a "party" together for the EHers, email me and let me know. We'll see what we can do.
That's it for me. On to the news.
