The Red Stick Rebellion is proud to announce that Star Wars in Concert will be coming to the Baton Rouge River Center on the 33rd anniversary of Star Wars: A New Hope - May 19th, 2010! Tickets will go on sale on March 13th and the Red Stick Rebellion and Bast Alpha Garrison will be working with the River Center and other partners to promote the event. This show came to New Orleans back in October and was a great success - so it's coming back to the capital city! If you missed the show then - do not miss it this time!

For our first promotion, we will be appearing with members of the Bast Alpha Garrison on LPB (the local PBS network) during The Making of Star Wars in Concert - to be shown during their membership drive later this month. The piece is currently set to air on March 14th at noon and March 22nd at 8:30pm. You see more at LPB's site at the link below:

Stay tuned here for more as we find out when and where we'll be promoting this incredible event! We hope to see you there!

This month's meeting is being pushed back a week to February 20th, 2010. Appearing one time only in February, Phenix will be giving away his trade secrets on making your own Personal Custom Star Wars Carded Figures. In-depth tips from the master with never before seen photos and personal customs from his own collection. So "Join the Rebellion", on February 20th as we explore Customizing, New Website Updates on recording your personal collection, and see the Mystery Collectable revealed. With plenty of Star Wars collectables available from our members there's plenty for everyone to enjoy. So everyone enjoy Mardi Gras and we'll see you on the 20th at the Jones Creek Library.

We are glad to announce that Phenix (TD 5491) will be taking the position of Meeting Coordinator this year. The first thing he wants to do is bring back the Mystery Collectible to the meetings - so now we need you to submit your collectible (or collectibles) so you can bring it in and tell its story to the group at one of our meetings. In the "Comments / Suggestions / Problems" forum, there's a new "Mystery Collectible Submissions" forum for you to submit your collectible, and instructions are also in that forum as to how to submit it. That forum is a moderated one - so don't worry, only the council can see the posts in it.

Also, we need ideas for meetings that you want to see this year. A thread has been created same forum above called "Meeting suggestions and ideas for 2010" for you to submit your ideas (it doesn't have to be something you want to present, although that would help). Let us know what you want to see next year!

Our third annual toy drive is underway and we had a great response out at the O'Neal Walmart this past Saturday. We had over three barrels worth of toys donated and we're looking forward to the drive this Saturday (11/21) at the Walker Walmart. All the toys collected will once again be donated to Cancer Services of Greater Baton Rouge - and we'll be there to hand things out again this year. Be sure and check out the pictures from the events in our Picture Gallery.

Even though we had to cancel the second toy drive due to weather, we still had a good number of toys dontated at our first drive and collected over 145 items to donate to Cancer Services this year! Once again, we also got to participate in their party and help distribute to the kids while posing for loads of pictures. We'd like to thank everyone that helped with this event - especially all those who donated! Pictures are now posted in the Picture Gallery section. Have a Merry Christmas everyone!
