Astraline Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 It???s a huge celebration of our patients from the Connecticut Children's Medical Center who have survived cancer! It???s a beautiful and super inspiring event and we would LOVE you and your group to be a part of it! We have tons of activities set up for the kids on the green and I thought it would be so cool to have a Star Wars station! You would be in the shade under a large tent with a backdrop for photo ops. You could also walk around and interact with the kids on the green. A locked space would be provided for changing and breaks. We would also provide lunch and plenty of water and snacks. We could probably accommodate as many members who wanted to come, but I???d at least love to have two. It is on the grounds of the University of St. Joseph in West Hartford.?? Arrive at 10.?? Troop 2, 3 or all 4 hours!!?? Logistics: Please arrive no later than 10AM so we can get orientated. We should be ready to go by 11AM. We will have a private, locked area to change in and store our belongings. Water and lunch will be provided. Some of us will be walking around interacting with the kids, others will be posing at the photo-booth station. They break-down everything at 2:30PM. I'm not expecting everyone to stay until then - about 1:30/2:00 is probably reasonable. They're expecting 200-300 children plus parents and family. There will be a large parking lot set aside for event volunteers at the entrance to the University of Saint Joseph. Follow the signs directing you to volunteer parking. Please remember to take breaks if/when you need them. Who knows what the weather is going to be like (yay CT) and I don't want anyone to overheat or get too damp. ?? ??

I'm reading it as mostly cloudy with a??40% chance of rain during the day. Humidity might be a little tedious. I've not heard anything from our contact about a cancellation - if she does decide to call off the event, I'll let you know.

Chewy Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I've updated the first post will logistics for the event. Please note we've been asked to arrive no later than 10AM for orientation. Thanks to everyone who signed up - this is pretty much a hospital visit that more than 6 troops can do. 2 Christopher Bailey??| TK-66402 Approved Costumes:??ANH Stunt??(Centurion) | Heavy Weapons Trooper??(Elite Infantry) In Progress: ANH TIE Pilot??| Zuckuss "Those who forget the past are doomed to... blah blah blah..."

Chewy Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Oh, one final thing. I've not been able to get a response about it from our contact but I suspect this might be a no-blasters troop. Bring em if you like but I'll have to confirm tomorrow if you'll be allowed to walk around with them. 1 Christopher Bailey??| TK-66402 Approved Costumes:??ANH Stunt??(Centurion) | Heavy Weapons Trooper??(Elite Infantry) In Progress: ANH TIE Pilot??| Zuckuss "Those who forget the past are doomed to... blah blah blah..."
