thanks i'll have @Lgrad reach out and see if we can get that accommodation. They get weird about the employee lot and access.

More details to come Topic is for discussion of event. To Sign up/RSVP for this event, please visit the calendar link: Revenge of the Sixth at Connecticut Childrens Hospital

Underground if possible employ lot

To be clear, you mean the employee / freight parking? or just the one underneath the XL center? Or the garage across the street?

53 now!!! Woohooo!!!! Last year, Kyle - who also lives in Clinton - met me at Joe and Kristin's in Middletown. He left his car there and hopped in with me. We can do that too if you prefer to not drive into New Haven yourself. I attend the after parade dinner and then we can leave any time after we've eaten and visited with everyone.

If possible I’d like a parking spot in the garage so I can unload chopper with no issues, thank you

Its that time again. Legion elections are coming back around. Nominations begin the 27th https://www.501st.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=287

We've hit 50 bodies 2 months out. I think we're gonna break another record

I'll be there at least one day

JAWA BUILD DAY JAWA BUILD DAY. Come over and build some Jawas. I have plenty of room to sew and cut. I have 5 sewing machines, a serger, leather-making tools, and a couple of soldering irons. As well as other crafting tools, feel free to ask if you need something specific. Its my first time making a Jawa so not sure what else we will need. You gotta bring your own materials but come and build a New England army with us! Pizza will be provided but feel free to bring snacks/drinks. This is more like a drop in type meet, come when you can. If you have made a Jawa before, feel free to also come and help. Would super appreciate that. When: Sat Feb 1st 10-4pm AND Sunday Feb 2nd from 10am-3pm [you dont have to do both days, just making sure we have enough time to get all these Jawas done] Where: 22 Woodmere Knls Meriden, CT 06450 Topic is for discussion of event.

The one in Windsor Locks.

again, i have no issues with him being there but you know that parade and the route has spots that might be a little unforgiving for his wheels and gears and if there's no way to get him out if he breaks down it'd be a bad time. i'll touch base with SG and RL this week to see if we want to try to do a float and he could ride along there otherwise. He'd be kind of lost behind the walls riding in the back of a pickup.

He had drive gear failure at the Quinnipac events so that’s going to be addressed, and if I can make the Hartford event march 1st that will be a test for those new gears. im just gonna withdraw from the parade to eliminate any issues with breakdowns unless we do a float where he can ride

I dont mind him as long as he can make the trip. the real issue will be if there is a malfunction on the route of any kind how do we get him safely stowed. For now we don't have truck or float planned but that may be coming. Best idea would be to try to take him out for a couple mile stroll and see how he does that way you know what to expect and what challenges you may encounter you haven't considered yet.

Unfortunately I will not be able to attend this one. I am under the weather. Hope you guys have fun!

So we started with 11 and lost 3... we're down to 8 troopers but not committed to both...... did we invite NEG, SG and RL? Do we have a Vader going?

I signed Chopper up and I think he can manage the road, if you don’t want him there let me know, I won’t be in kit for any event this year

And if you can't get Lou, you can ping me on FB messenger or my cell 860-335-6062.

I'll be the Contact got CTG, Lou Secki. you can reach me on my mobile if you need anything, 203-804-7479

Going to try and make both, but with the travel it's a long day. I might only be able to make it to Hockey so I put that down on the sheet. Who's the best person to reach out to when I arrive?

Following up with some updates: Received my boots, neck seal, holster (which is now modified to be an ANH style), and E-11 in. All I am waiting for is the actual kit from Walt's so then I can get an accurate size for the canvas belt.

Can only make the basketball game

Comments: We are looking to host a Father's Day event at the Ansonia Pubic Library that will be paired with a kick off to reading summer program, and felt that you can't go wrong with Star Wars and Dads! We would love to make this a yearly event as Father's Day and our Summer Reading Kickoff occurs during the same weekend. It would be a fantastic way to "hook" hesitant readers, especially the 8-11 year old boy demographic which, as a children's librarian, is the toughest age range for me to get reading in the summer.
