Well, Drums Along the Maumee 4 is history and all I can say is Wow, WOW and WOW! What a great time, the games were outstanding and being with old and new friends was worth than any amount of money. Speaking of money, the Colbys sent more than $1300 home with me to put into the chapter's bank account. That, combined with our T-shirt sales I had, made the total deposit more than $1600. If you were not able to attend this year, mark your calendar now for next year and attend Drums 5.

Origins is upon us, now, and Warparty is not far behind. Plan to attend and spend time with some of the finest people I know -- members of HMGS Great Lakes. Dates for all our cons are elsewhere in the Herald.

Thanks to Webmaster Terry Cabak, members can now renew their membership through Paypal. Just go to the website and click on the "Paypal" button. It will direct you from there. I'd also like to thank our former Webmaster Ed Lizak for his hard work for the chapter.

And one final thing: Don't forget the Raffle at Advance the Colors! Donate any figures (we prefer painted) or rules, books or whatever you have laying around that you don't use anymore. Someone would really like to have it, I'm sure.

I hope to see many of you at Origins and Warparty.
