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.

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.

Happy Thanksgiving to All!

I hope everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving with their families and friends, and survived Black Friday Festivities. Don't forget that the Star Wars in Concert event is just around the corner, as well as many other great events such as a Westerville Holiday parade. While the holidays tend to be a slow time you should always be able to find a good event in the events section to attend.

Looking for something to do other than Dragon Con? How about something to do after you get home from Dragon Con? Then you should come on down and check out the Cincinnati Pops on September 11th through the 13th, as the Garrison will be helping out with the show. Good times and fun for the whole family.
