    Show Notes: Messages from LCO candidates (February 17, 2011)

    Host: Nicky Blum, DZ-8397

    Contributors: Dion Rupa, TK-1217, Kristen Kuipers, RC-6247 and Jason Romanoff, TK-9141

    Post-Production: Andy Fairbanks, ID-8169

    Welcome to a special Legion elections minicast. We have for you audio messages from each of our three candidates for the Legion Commanding Officer position. We thought it would be different to give you the opportunity to actually hear the candidates words as we all know that reading text (and there’s a lot of text to read in those Q&A threads) is different than hearing it straight from the horses mouth!

    Our three candidates this year (in TK number order) are:

    Dion Rupa, TK-1217 from Northeast Remnant Garrison

    Kristen Kuipers, RC-6247 from Georgia Garrison

    And Jason Romanoff, TK-9141 from Garrison Carida

    Make sure to read through their Q&A answers in the 2011 Election Forum on the Main Legion forums.

    Voting begins at 12:01am GMT on February 19th. Votes are cast via the Legion’s official online ballot which is located on the main Legion forums. Voting will be open for exactly 7 days and officially ends at the stroke of midnight GMT February 25th.

    Voting takes place on the main Legion forums not only for the LCO election, but for all elections Legion wide. Therefore, if your garrison, squad or detachment is having elections, you can read the Q&As for those on the individual forums, but voting takes place on the main Legion forums.

    Good luck to all those running for positions this year!

    Show Notes: May the Force Be With Katie (December 10, 2010)

    Special Contributors: Ashley Eckstein, Katie Cook, Cynthia Martin, Angie Mayhew, Peter Mayhew, Mary Oyaya, Adrienne Wilkinson.

    Post-Production: Dean Plantamura (TK-899)


    Katie is a first grade girl who was teased for bringing her Star Wars water bottle into school because the boys in her class say Star Wars is only for boys. Since her mother posted the story on the web and thousands of people of all ages have read and commented to show support for Katie and any other children who are bullied for simply being themselves.

    On December 10th, 2010, let’s really give her something to smile about. Wear a Star Wars tee shirt or something to show that you support Katie, Star Wars, female fans and anti-bullying.

    Katie’s parents have requested that, in lieu of more gifts for Katie, donations should be made to needy children. Spread the immense amount of love and goodwill inherent in the support this lucky girl has received. Let’s make some other current and future Star Wars fans as happy as we’ve made Katie and keep the goodness going!
