IKF party room (Room 106): 2006 Theme: Homeworld Bound:
After spending long months defending and expanding the Klingon Empire the warriors of IKF have returned home. They invite you to join them during their stay on Qo’noS, to sample the fare, see Klingon hospitality at it's finest, and to experience the glory that is the Klingon empire. Join us for fun, food, and the shear stupidity of Kethas and Krom in the Morning from 10pm to Midnight, (yes they got their license back) From 7- 10pm ONLY the language of the Klingon empire will be spoken, if Kethas and Krom can't get it, why should you? Sorry Hoshi, it's time to learn the lingo.
ANNUAL Klingon betleH Tournament at CONvergence:
This year the Imperial Klingon Forces will be hosting its fourth annual betleH tournament Fighting for a Cure. In the past three years we’ve raised hundreds of dollars for the American Diabetes Association and are looking to double that with this year’s tournament.
The tournament is open to anyone who is a member of a Klingon fan organization and passes our certification. Festivities kick off Friday night with a fighting demonstration and authorizations for those who need them. The cost of the tournament is $10 in advance and $15 at the tournament with ALL proceeds going to benefit the American Diabetes Association.
For more information Contact Lord Admiral Krom zantai-Ketal at envy1874@aol.com.
Because when Klingons are fighting for a cure, diabetes doesn’t stand a chance!
