UPDATE: We're good to park outside the family resource center again now. It's along Washington Street on the right, just before the entrance to the main hospital complex.

May 4th this year happens to fall on a Saturday, so we're doing this on the 3rd instead. Frees up our calendar a bit.

The Connecticut Children's Medical Center celebrates May 4th each year with a party in their Family Resource Center, and has invited us to come along! We aim to meet there at 11 before getting changed for an appearance at midday. We usually alternate hanging around the FRC doing pictures with staff and outpatients, along with visits to the inpatient wards in groups of two.??We will also??be joined by our friend Charles Janeczko and his R2D2! @trevelyan

  • Please aim to arrive at around 12:15 / 12:30, ready to appear in costume for 1PM. We'll be changing in a room inside the UTC Family Resource Center - if you're lost, please ask one of the security guards for help.
  • UPDATE: We're good to park outside the Family Resource Center again. Sorry about this.... It's at 281 Washington Street. Take a right along Washington Street before you come to the main entrance of the hospital complex. It's right around where the blue crane is in THIS google maps image.
  • Please remember to leave your blasters at home. I suspect lightsabers will be fine, but I wouldn't suggest bringing along a blade for one. The hospital corridors are a little cramped.
  • @bsands??@Kaar'ryn??- if you haven't already done so, please fill out the Confidentiality agreement??and bring it with you on Friday. I'll have a few extra copies on the day to fill out just in case.

There's going to be an event outside the hospital until 1PM that's going to mess up parking - are you guys okay started later at 1PM and finishing at around 3? It means Chuck could come with R2, and we wouldn't have to drag our totes all the way from the public parking garage. :)

EDIT:

I would like to join you guys if there is still room. I should have my new Twi'lek Jedi ready to go and I could help with soft wrangling for armored troopers.

I'm good starting at 1.?? I work in Hartford so it's just a short drive down the street from me.?? When/where do we muster?

We will be meeting up at the Family Resource Center at the Hospital. It's across the street from the public parking garage, or just inside the doors from the parking if we start at 1. I can make up a little map before the event.

Sure! That takes us to the cap of 7, but if another CTG member would like to attend we'll have to put you on the reserve list unfortunately.????

That is completely understandable!! I would not mind at all to back out if someone wants to go! :)
This one was just a lot closer to me and work in Hartford so I figured I'd offer! I will keep checking in to make sure. Thank you!

@Chewy??I know exactly where that is (I've, unfortunately, had to go there with kids a multitude of times).?? Is 1:00 the time to arrive, or should we get there earlier to suit up?

1pm is the time we start, so aim to arrive just after midday. I'm just going to double - check with the event host that their morning event finishes soon enough that we'll have enough parking if we arrive then.??

We've still got one space left for this! If you've got some spare time around the middle of the day, come help us cheer up some poor children.

As a Dad whose kids were at CCMC on May 4th back in 2016, I can say it made a big difference for them.?? I'm happy that I have a chance to give back this year.

Big thank you to those who came to Hartford today! Hospital troops are tricky to organise but they mean the world to the staff and patients we visit. Now... onwards to May 4th! :D

EDIT: Andy Tanski took a bunch of photos today, they're in an album here:??

The hospital photographer and staff also took a bunch, which they will be forwarding to me at some point in the near future (hopefully).
