Good Evening Colonials!
And for you the New Year has indeed just begun...as the tide of time washes across the planet and time traveling us to a new era.
Welcome to 2014 (while I still wait on the clock) a little more than two hours hence.
We look forward to serving all of you in the new year & moving the Fan Club forward in the process...again, we can't, couldn't & wouldn't do this without all of you.
Just remember all of you...that as long as you keep the faith, Battlestar Galactica will never die....as a matter of fact it will only grow stronger & your continued support will only hasten the day when it WILL return to either the small or large screen...or both.
Remember that the people have the power & YOU...all of you, are the boss.
Together we can move mountains & this is never been about sleeping giants...maybe sometimes resting but always waking fully & refreshed.
As we move into 2014 we can look forward also to the continued shaping of Galacticon IV: Resurrection
...and please believe we want, need & expect your input into the process...we WANT your active participation in this so it can be the BEST that it can be.
Anybody can put together a Convention...we want this to be an EVENT...one that fully embraces not only us, but the actors, writers & producers and others involved in the creative process of Battlestar Galactica (and other great Science Fiction)...but especially YOU, the fans who in the end pull it all together
I want to take a moment & remind everyone that we still have our Rockethub crowdfunder
still in place...and time is winding down on it too...again, this is very simply a way to be involved in the process...for all of you.
We have many ways to fund the event of course, with ticket sales being a mainstay but we also want to create a lot of "specialness" while we are at it and this again, is a way for you to be directly involved...the contribution to the crowdfunder is up to you...& of course there are some unique gifts attached, but the best one of all I think is have your name included in the official program book...everyone will know that you had a hand in the creation of something special.
I think it goes without saying (as I have mentioned it) that starting in January we will begin announcing the first of our special guests...and they will be the tip of the iceberg...and we think that they will resonate on many different levels for all of you.
Of course, before I close this note I will announce our Hero....nope didn't forget about that...but I was saving it for this night especially.
Our Hero harkens back to characters from both the original BSG & Galactica: 1980 and are part of the legend of Battlestar.
Tonight we honor Bruce Wright for his contribution to that legend!
So Say We All!

President

I especially like the tune by one of my favorite musicians John Lennon. The War might be over in his song, but the Cylon war will never be over. In fact, soon our 1st mission of the new year will take place here at the BFC in Forum Chat!!!!!!!
SO SAY WE ALL! ! ! ! !
