Chewy Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 ?? Long story short: The Peter Mayhew Foundation is donating $150,000 worth of toys to be given out at hospital troops by the 501st Legion in the USA over December and January. On January 9th CCMC has planned a showing of "Rise of Skywalker" for the kids stuck at the hospital, and I got us an invite along to do photo ops and help give out raffle prizes beforehand. I'm currently waiting on further guidance from Legion Command regarding the toy donation, but the intention would be to give out our gifts to them then.?? I'm sorry that this is on a Thursday but unfortunately most of their events are on weekdays and there's not much we can do about that. If we can't make this date work I'm considering doing a quick toy drop-off sometime in January with some social media-friendly pictures. Usual arrangements for CCMC: parking is at the hospital either in the garage (comped) or by the Family Resource Center, and you will need to fill out some paperwork beforehand if you've not trooped there before. You are not required to provide evidence of a flu shot or anything to attend; the hospital just asks that you excuse yourself if you've been immunocompromised in the week or so beforehand. If you wish to troop and haven't been to the hospital before, please read the attached documents, bringing along a signed copy of the Confidentiality Agreement on the day. We are allowed to use the concrete parking area at the second floor entrance on 282 Washington Street - please refer to the map for more details. Ignore in the guidelines were it says we'll have to pay for parking - we are covered regardless of where you park. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Ytg30-c5Ys3riSFs3u2LUy_0VLM2sKBF?usp=sharing Arrangements: Please make sure you're at the hospital for 3PM. We'll be in costume at 4, lasting as long as they want us (probably a couple of hours at most). Don't forget you can park outside the Washington Street entrance and drastically reduce the distance you'll need to drag your tote. Please do not bring blasters. Please do remember to bring a signed copy of the confidentiality agreement if you haven't already done one for CCMC. A copy can be found in the Google Drive link above. I have a new phone number: (860) 816-3292. Call me if you are having trouble tomorrow. ?? Topic is for discussion of event.?? To Sign up/RSVP for this event, please visit the calendar link:??

Chewy Posted December 21, 2019 Author Share Posted December 21, 2019 Just an FYI that we are limited to 6 troopers in costume due to space considerations at the Hospital. There's one spot left to confirm if anyone else is interested; if there's more interest than that??I will??come out of costume and wrangle.

Nice idea but I think it's probably best we don't risk it. I've no doubt many people there are on special diets (or perhaps might not be comfortable accepting food from a stranger). Sorry. I mean, you could bring some for us. I never so no to cookies... .... ....???

Feliz Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Hey all. I have been sick since last Friday and unfortunately have to back out of this one. Bummed but hopefully another person and fill my spot.
