What is Life Day?
For the younger people reading this that might not have heard about it before or have never celebrated it on their homeworld, Life Day is a Wookiee Festival and Celebration that happens on the home planet of Kashyyyk every three years.
It's a celebration of "Life" in all aspects, from those than have passed on to new lives brought into the Galaxy...
Although a Wookiee festival, over time the concept has been embraced and accepted by many cultures througout the world. As Jedi, the concept of Life Day walks side-by-side with some of our own beliefs and as such the High Council grant permission for the branches of the Order to actively participate in their own Life Day celebration.
Where will it be taking place?
Master Creed has, in his wisdom, just appointed me to secure the location for our Branch of the Order for this year's Life Day.
Unfortunately, orginizing has been left too late and as such our usual cabins at the foot of the mountain are already occupied by another group.
However!
I have found a site that I think would be a wonderful place to spend our Life Day.
It is a themed resort nestled in a small taiga region a stones-throw away from the Capital. It is designed in the fashion of a primative village and there is very little in the way of current-day tech.
So what's the catch?
It's expensive....
Very expensive....
To put it in perspective, the resort's common visitors for company escapes and conferences are "CrediVat - Corellian Bank", "Symbiotech Pharmaceuticals" and "TaggeCo" the owners of Mobquet.
So as you can see, it's pretty exclusive.
The Jedi Order is not a business and are not in the habit of making credits so we won't have the scope to purchase this retreat on Order funds alone.
I have already spoken to a few of you and some have agreed to come forward with Credits from your own sources outside the Order's coffers.
We have 24 hours to raise the 6,500 extra we need to go ahead.
We got the credits! When does it start?
Pending our success, we will be aiming to make our way to the resort on 309.20 any time after 1400 GST. The resort owners will need up until then to prepare the place for us, given the short notice.
Lets pull together and see what we can do!
