Greeting all,

Some of you already know some of this to which I apologize for the delay on getting this out and the echo of repetition. Anyway this week has been a bit of a cram session for me. Mainly at work as a result of my pending vacation thus my boss wanted a lot done beforehand. It also a transitional week for my son as he will be going back to school soon.

I also must admit the last few months I've been running on fumes a bit. That was most evidently the case last session as we didn't have a writing activity, Empire at War mission, or an Activity of the Month. This falls completely on me. I allowed some of my personal stuff to distract me and forgot to follow up with folks.

For this again I apologize and know I can to better and hopefully after a bit of rest I will be. So that we got the new session under way I will be taking a few weeks. To recharge the batteries as they like to say. Anyway I'll start covering the new session stuff. Which goes from today Sunday August 25th and will go til September 22nd.

The missions are mostly up and the rest should follow shortly. As for the writing activity I like to do a sort of flash back/back story kind of thing. Basically we all have past skeletons from our youth can come back to haunt us. Share one of of those stories with us and have some fun with it. Post your Stories here on the forms      

As for the Activity of the Month(AtoM)I've decided on an open scavenger hunt based on the a single theme. Since it's the end of the Summer that will be the theme in question. Find 10 pictures of things you like to do during the summer.Post your submissions here on the forms

For those of you interested in Simming please check out the Calender (Online Simming)found near the missions on the right menu bar. They always have something going on IRC and if you have questions Please drop FA Raven a line.

Also for those that wanting to get together with some of our members. Keep in mind Thursdays at 10 PM are Pazzak nights for more info on this check out the wiki click here or contact MGN Adam Mieter.




I've also noticed some new folks have joined in recent weeks which is good to see. I bid you all welcome and hope you will enjoyed your time with us. If any of you need anything don't be afraid to drop a line to any fellow RS member. Help is always at the very least an email way.

You may have had a bad day in the cockpit however your efforts are highly valued. Also remember future success comes from the lessons learned in failure. She's a great teacher not something to hang one's head over so chin up and get back at it. ":D
