<USS Avalon> ---- MARCON ----

  
As the chilly days begin to grow longer, we are reminded that  Spring is on 
the way.  Did you know that February 2nd marks the halfway  point between the 
winter solstice and spring equinox?  And with spring  comes... Marcon.
 
Marcon is one of the Midwest's oldest and largest science fiction  
conventions.  This year's theme is a commemoration of Star Trek's 40th  
anniversary, and 
it promises to be a fabulous con!
 
You can get lots more information about the convention and its  guests and 
activities at the official website, _www.marcon.org_ (http://www.marcon.org/) .
 
The convention hospitality suite, or "con suite" will be hosted  this year by 
a staff of CPA hosts and players, and we'd LOVE to have you join  us.  Staff 
memberships are only $10.00 if registered by the April 1st  deadline.
 
Here's the paragraph of publicity that is going out in a  mailing to 1500 
Marcon attendees next week, regarding the con suite and our  group:
 
In keeping with this year's convention theme, the con suite will be  
transformed into Nowhere Station, a place where beings from all universes can  
gather 
to meet and socialize!  Your con suite staff will feature hosts and  members 
of the Celestial Prime Alliance, a Star Trek-themed online roleplaying  group.  
We'll be serving up a wide array of your favorites, and some new  delicacies 
as well.  Planned are a Friday evening sushi party, Saturday  afternoon ice 
cream social, continental breakfasts both mornings, and a special  treat 
Saturday night, as well as a variety of soft drinks and munchies both  healthy 
and 
not-so-healthy to be offered all day long.  Special dietary  requests will be 
accepted for the ice cream social and breakfasts, so that we  can provide a few 
items suitable for those with diabetes and/or celiac  disorder.  Extended 
overnight hours are planned for Saturday night,  depending on staff 
availability.  
Join us for a bite -- we promise not to  bite back!

If YOU are interested in joining this staff (and having plenty of  time to 
enjoy the rest of the convention), please e-mail me for a copy of the  staff 
registration form.  I have been asked to submit most (if not all) of  my 
staff's 
forms together, so it will be simple to fill out and e-mail back to  me.
 
Keep in mind that while the convention begins Friday afternoon,  there will 
be a special reception Thursday evening for the staff and the  convention 
guests -- so if you are able to be present then, you will get to meet  the 
guests 
in a smaller gathering.  Also, if there are particular guests  that our staff 
are interested in meeting, I will try to arrange something just  for us.
 
Please do browse the website at _www.marcon.org_ (http://www.marcon.org/)  
and  let me know ASAP if you would like to be a part of this great convention.  
 
(I will also arrange hotel room sharing to help everyone keep costs  down.)
 
Thanks!
 
Chandra (Commander Sarah Mollin, USS Avogadro)
