RGCWinnipeg's Official Planning Committee Meet

By -
Special thanks to the new official RGCWinnipeg Planning Committee for an awesome first planning meeting. We have a great group, the chemistry was awesome and we're excited for all the up coming announcements for our first event April 5 2014 for charity. This first event is a great way to build our community, spread the word and do some good for the great city of Winnipeg. I bet Smitty's Restaurants never heard conversations like the ones we had tonight!

Retro Fans Unite - Some of Retro Games most passionate fans meet
to plan RGCW's first event for charity.

Smitty's Lounge never heard such great conversations....

Ed and I walked away from this meeting very pumped and excited to see everyone's energy and that more than expected showed up to support our cause! We were also joined by UnderMedium, an awesome group that serves the nerd and geek community. There were awesome ideas that we'll be working hard to fit into our first retro event, so stay tuned for more announcements from the committee!

And a special thank you to the newly formed official RGCW Planning Committee, you guys and gals are the backbone to the success of our cause! Here's some pics from the night!
