Question: “As it pertains to armor/costume build parties, how often do you see them happening and how will you be announcing them to new recruits and Garrison members?”

Armor build parties are something that happen as frequently or infrequently as the members desire. They seem to generate spontaneously from the membership as the need arises and when members volunteer to host them. Some members have great space available to host armor parties and may be willing to do so, other members may not have this space available but are still willing to attend, help, and have fun.

As I become aware of armor parties or the need for them, I will announce them on our Facebook member page and our chat channel. With people interested in joining the Legion but who are not yet members and thus do not have access to our member pages, I would point them in the direction of the Costume Mentor program to help get them started.

Opening Statement:

Hello North Bay Squad troopers and thank you for considering me to serve once again as your squad leader! I was very happy to be nominated in this election cycle and would be proud to serve the squad in this role during the upcoming term.

A bit about myself: I was born, raised, and still live in Napa. Joanna and I have two beautiful children and I love being a daddy. I’m a middle school history teacher and have been teaching for 14 years. I love to read and play the guitar. I can’t dance.

Legion stuff: I joined the legion in 2011, and my first costume was an ANH- TK that Joanna bought for me as the best surprise-present ever. Since then I have added an Imperial Officer, Sith Acolyte, and FO-TK to my resume. I love to hang out with my garrison family and spread Star Wars love to the community during troops.

NBS: I was extremely excited to work with Kyle, Vince, and the other squad leaders to get the four squads up and running last year, and I am proud of the fact that our squad was the first to submit our application and artwork. North Bay leads the way! Over the past year I think the members of squad have grown closer together as a group, we have shared our love of Star Wars at incredible community events, we have welcomed and supported new members, and we have done all this with a sense of humor and respect. My main goals if elected would be to continue to foster and encourage the amazing relationships between our squad members, to continue promoting our events so that no trooper has to troop an event by themselves, and to work with Garrison command in order to advance their message and vision for the garrison.

Thank you all for your consideration.

These came out great, Vince!
