Star Wars Guest: Shannon McRandle- Mara Jade
Yvonne Tate with Old Line Garrison has worked long and hard to bring Mara Jade to Farpoint! Please come and see Shannon and support Yvonne's efforts. If we show strong fan support for Star Wars guests, we may be able to convince the Farpoint committee to invite additional Star Wars guests in the future.
Trivia Contest:
Ward Poole has advised he is putting together a Star Wars trivia contest for Farpoint as one of the panels. Come and test your knowledge of obscure Star Wars facts!
Cell Phone Charity Drive:
Garrison Tyranus will be sponsoring a cell phone charity drive at their fan club table at Farpoint. If you have any old cell phones tucked in your closet that you are no longer using, please bring them along to Farpoint and turn them in at the Garrison Tyranus table. The cell phones are refurbished by The Body Shop stores, and provided with free service by Verizon Wireless. The phones are then donated to organizations assisting battered women to act as emergency 911 phones. Please take this opportunity to clean out your closet and support a good cause at the same time!
Fan Club Tables:
Old Line Garrison and Garrison Tyranus will have adjacent fan club tables at Farpoint. Please stop by and say hello!

Rebelscum Breast Cancer Awareness Charity Patch Posted By Philip on November 25, 2014: Thanks to everybody that ordered patches. I sent a check for $1,600.00 to the National Breast Cancer Foundation on Monday. While it's not as much as I hoped for, it's still very much appreciated. They will remain for sale in the store for anybody that still wishes to purchase them. Details after the jump.
