What to expect in 2017:
Myself as Base Membership Officer and the rest of Command hopes we can have an even better 2017 when it comes to recruitment. We will be starting a "Echo Base Rebel Academy" in 2017, that will follow not far behind the launch of our base website. The Academy will pair up those looking to join Echo Base with more experienced members that will act as mentors and help them through the process of preparing a costume. I will be looking for volunteers to act has mentors, shoot me a PM if you are interested in taking on a mentor role.

Additionally our new base trading cards will act as fantastic PR materials drawing new members in

2016 was a great year for the base, lets make 2017 even better!

May the Force Be With Us,
Dan Decker

Awesome Job everyone! Congratulations and well done on all the costumes! I know it isn't easy getting costumes approved at times. For those that may have met some resistance during the approval process, well done on keeping your focus and getting the costume(s) approved!
