SheVaCon is putting together a box of needed items for gaming and prizes for them and will ship out in less than two weeks. If you have items that you would like to add please shoot us an email. Or if you or your group would like to put a box together here is the information to ship. Keep in mind the con is set for June 10th so there isn't much time to get things out to them. Thanks everyone! -Gina

"Mrs. Adler, Here is a copy of the PPT Slides I did up for the Con. I hope these help. We will gladly add SheVaCon to the list of supporters for this con. Whatever you can send will be appreciated. The best way is to send by US Postal Service (we don't get any other deliveries here). If the box is books, or almost all books, you can send it Media Mail and save some dollars too. My address is as follows:

SPC David Amberson

A Co 86th Sig Bn APO, AE 09331

you so much for your support, Dave"

Anyone wanting copies of the ppt flier files please emial me and I'll be happy to forward them.

The Board of SheVaCon would like to take this moment to thank everyone who attended SheVaCon this year. We all had a fantastic weekend full of great surprises and lots of laughs. We also found out that another one of our dear friends has gone on ahead of us and we all missed not having him with us this weekend. If you would like to find out more about Grithor the service dog click here. To all of our wonderful Art ,Writer, Drumming, Music guests this year. THANK YOU!!! With out you we wouldn't be here in the first place. To our new friends from Garrison Tyranus 501'st Legion. You have brought new balance to our force and we can't thank you enough!

2/24/07 Wish you were here!, Wonderful costumes this evening at the costume contest with a huge surprise ending,.. at least for our dear friend Jenn. The Dread Pirate Roberts got up on stage and proposed! I'll upload pictures here in just a little bit. The Empire has been busy raising awareness of the uprising of Rebel insurgence in the area and have taken out some spies. On that note the board of SheVaCon needs your help. Our Convention Chairman has been arrested by the Empire and he needs to raise money for his bail as soon as I am able to sit down with the arresting officer and find out exactly all the details I will post so we can get him out. Now I need to get back down stairs and find out how our scholarship charity auction is doing and take more pictures of the people who are here.

2/23/07 10:43 pm So much going on I haven't had much time to get pictures resized and up but here are a few and now that everyone is getting into the drumming I'm going to roam around and take more pictures.
