    It’s ok. Am stil not familiar with the system. My bad.

    I might not have made it to sign up after all when this was posted.
    Time zone differences and all, me being on the other side of the world.
    Been very busy with work. That’s what I got. LOL

    Thanks Brent!

    As noted in the Event Request the hospital wants to approve kits (make sure they are clean looking). As soon as you can would you please provide a link to your portfolio page that we can pass on to the hospital staff. Troopers that are listed as Reserves as well please.

    I just kind out about this troop because my son had 2 surgeries with complications last over a week ago. Extremely disappointed no Sandtroopers and coming to this hospital since the day my son was born and had surgery it’s why I joined the 501st in the first place. I also had never seen my troops hheee and reached out and got us coming here. I’m sure previous members probably set something but when I joined. We had not been coming here regularly. So to get dissed is absolutely (I don’t know what word I want to use). I will bring some of the coins too share with the kids because I will be here. This wouldn’t have happened if the original manager Sarah DeVaney was still here. So I guess I’ll be pushing the spoke guards for wheelchairs. I talked with someone involved with making a stay fun for kids while they are here Nd she loved them. It willl happen one day. I just got done explains that a sandtroooer is no worse thatn other characters . Our dirt isn’t dirt. She will get back to me tomorrow, I don’t see what the call is for handlers but can I sign up as one.. I have a badge to eat around the hospital already and I will bring giveaway stuff which I do every visit my son is here. I haven’t gotten to troop much over the past year and am still trying to find available time and since I’m already here. Thanks.
