• Action Figure Museum appearance and display - Paul's Valley
  
  • The owners/operators asked if we'd like to "do a little something" for them. This includes a Star Wars display, and perhaps a costume appearance.
    
  • We're taking it under consideration, as noone who has visited it is particularly impressed.
    
• Website
  
  • Report any problems to Len.
    
• Newsletter – July
  
  • If you'd like to write an article about the club and/or anything Star Wars, please feel free to do so and send it to Brian (Skywlkr).
    
• Celebration IV in 2007
  
  • May 24th ~ 27th - Los Angeles Convention Center
    
  • Tony (CplTony) has reserved a few rooms, and many people have differing plans and opinions about the convention and the trip.
    
• eBay Charity Auction for MDA Telethon
  
  • We're still wanting to do this. These items don't have to be "rare exclusives".
    
  • The only issue we have is how the eBay winning bids are distributed. eBay may have rules specifying that winning bids go directly to MDA, and not "held" until a later date. If this is true, we wondered if a "receipt" could be used to add to our Telethon presentation funds.
    
• Clone Trooper Project
  
  • Brian brought the clone trooper helmet the project has "traded for" and reminded anyone who was interested in having some clone trooper armor to get with him and start contributing time and/or funds to the project.
    

• Star Wars... the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Star Wars Fan Club, JediOKC. It's five year mission: to explore strange new conventions, to seek out new life and new Star Wars fan clubs in Oklahoma... to boldly go where no club has gone before...
  
• After this blasphemous quote was delivered, birthday cake and club anniversary cake was devoured by all.
