Welcome! Sorry we've been silent; some of our discussion happens on the
message boards, but much of it happens in person.

In any case, we do participate in the occasional event in Manhattan.
Many of us will be going to Big Apple Con in Manhattan Oct 16-18.

The NYC club is called MEPA. They have message boards on TheForce.Net
like ours. Unfortunately, MEPA is almost entirely inactive these days.
It seems DB516 is the only active club in the area right now, unless
you're interested in joining a costuming group.
Our CR should be able to tell you more about the local clubs, including
the costuming groups. I'm sure she'll chime in soon.
In the meantime, I suggest trying to make it down to Big Apple Con in
two weeks. Maybe you'll be able to meet some of the group.
