Ohio Garrison :: Ohio Star Wars Costume Chapter of the 501st Legion


	Thank You. by TK-Bear on Tue Mar 09, 2010 10:26 pm Good evening troops, I just realized I have not posted a news entry since the end of the first ever Ohio Garrison Election for CO. I basically wanted to thank everyone for their support, in electing myself CO and I will do all that I can to help this group grow in the coming months. I also wanted to remind all who may be interested, to apply for the Ohio Garrison's Command Staff openings. Please be sure to hurry to the Members section and post interest as there is still time, but we will be making selections this weekend. 2010 Elections by TB744 on Thu Feb 11, 2010 8:58 am Just a reminder to all members of the Ohio Garrison. Elections are currently happening throughout the Legion. Please be sure to check in the member's section here in our own forums as well as the main 501st Legion boards to keep up to date on the election process. Starting the New Year Right. by TK-Bear on Sun Jan 17, 2010 6:25 pm Thank you to all who came out and made the trip to the Winter Social. It was great to see all in person out side of an event, and attendance like we had is what makes these events what they are. There will be a large amount of trooping events in the new year such as OhayoCon, The Hockey Game in Youngstown, the Dayton Metro Library Event, Techfest in Dayton, and so much more. Also keep in mind that with February 1st comes a new election year so be sure to keep up to date on the Members only section of the message boards.
