Some of our activities include viewing the extended DVDs of Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers, a talent and costume show, games, readings from JRR Tolkien’s works, special workshops and lectures, a demonstration of the Decipher LOTR card game and a charity raffle of LOTR merchandise!

Pre-registration is now open for the event. All attending are responsible for their own food and hotel room accomodations, but the Lincolnwood Hotel will be providing us with a group rate, and there are several wonderful restaurants both at the hotel and nearby. PLEASE NOTE: Register early to be sure you have a room and to arrange for sharing if needed!
Please check our website {www.chicagofellowship.org} for the online
registration form and more information. For updates, please check the
Midwest Entmoot topic on the CF message board.
A portion of the profits will go to Pippin’s Apples, the division of Chicago Fellowship supporting anti-hunger organizations.
Sign up early, and tell one and all! Let’s make the first Midwest Entmoot a success!

Collectormania are concerned about the number of people planning to attend Collectormania 4 in October to see “the hobbits” – especially since they cannot appear on the Friday since they are doing New Line junkets that day.

Collectormania are concerned about the number of people planning to attend Collectormania 4 in October to see “the hobbits” – especially since they cannot appear on the Friday since they are doing New Line junkets that day.
They are polling potential attendees in their forums about the possibility of adding an extra “Hobbit day” to the event – extending the event into an extra “Hobbit Day” on the Monday, to try and make sure all those who want to manage to get their signings from Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Dominic Monaghan and Andy Serkis. If you are going to Collectormania please vote on the option you’d like the organizers to take here. (Select the “Collectormania 4” item and the poll is the top “pinned” thread).

I am Ahriell, the founder of the Scottish Fellowship, and on Saturday the 9th we have another one of our famed dvd parties, and once again, Bret mcKenzie will join us.
The Scottish Fellowship, as well as being a very active unofficial lotr fan club, is very successful at raising funds for a Scottish Charity, the Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust. Bret has helped us a lot in the fundraising by signing items which were then auctioned to members. We have named/sponsored 5 dolphins so far (P.J., Figwit, Tristan, Pippin and Smeagol!) which means we have raised 500GBP so far.
Bret is once again at the Edinburgh Fringe festival, with his comedy partner Jemaine Clement, they are collectively known as Flight of the Conchords.
A full report next week!
