Help Chicago Force Support Our Troops!
After the success of our toy drive to help a critically ill child earlier in the year, Chicago Force has decided to start a drive to collect books, comics, and magazines to send to the MWR (Morale, Welfare, and Recreation) departments of ships stationed in the Persian Gulf. We ask that you look through your old stuff and find something to donate. It will be a long while before a lot of them are back on U.S. soil, so sending them something fun to read will really brighten their day and show them that we are all thinking of them. Regardless of your position on the war, we ask that you still support those who are out there in this thoughtful manner.
We will be making our first collection at our April 26 book club meeting, although arrangements can be made to pick up your donation if you cannot make it out there. If you have any questions, send an e-mail to Matt Springer (DarthAstuart). For the latest information on Chicago Force events, visit www.chicagoforce.org or our FanForce forum.
Chicago Force Book Club Meeting
On Saturday, April 26, at 1:00 P.M., Chicago Force’s Errant Venture book club will discuss Tatooine Ghost by Troy Denning. Six months after their marriage, Han and Leia, along with Chewbacca and C-3PO, are sent to Mos Espa to recover an Alderaanian painting containing secret Rebel codes. While tracking the artwork, they uncover secrets of the Skywalker family. Join us as we talk about this book which bridges the gap between the prequel and original trilogies, taking place between The Courtship of Princess Leia and Heir to the Empire.
The meeting will be held at Borders at 150 N. State Street in Chicago. A 20% discount on the book is available for those participating in the group. Please note that this discount is only available at the Borders on State Street. After the meeting, at approximately 3:00 P.M., we’ll have some lunch at Bennigan’s at 225 N. Michigan Avenue.
