IL - Batavia/60510 - Birthday Party - Sat 2/2/13

Post by SL3193 »

Participants:
Stormtrooper - Steve Gaza TK 4034
Imperial Officer - Steve Szyndrowski ID 3052
Darth Vader - Mike Olson SL3193

We arrived at 2:30 at the residence and suited up in a Star Wars themed toy room before the guests arrived. at 3 we made our presence known to about 20 very excited six and seven year olds. We participated in a series of Jedi training games and activities including a high intensity dueling session with the Dark Lord himself. In the end, photos were taken, gifts were opened, and cake was devoured. At 4:45, we said our goodbyes and engaged in a parade of high fives and hugs with the guests. The parents hired a professional photographer to document the event and has agreed to email some of the photos to post on the boards. The parents expressed their appreciation with kind words and a $200 donation to the American Cancer Society. Thank you Gaza and Steve for making a last minute troop truly a lot of fun!

3 troops x 2 hours for a total of 6 hours
$200.00 donation to American Cancer Society

Check has been forwarded on to the American Cancer Society...
I utilized our contact for the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk at the Fox Valley office.

For purposes of tranparency, I have sent a scan of the letter and check to command
I would have posted a copy of the scan here but the scan contains Steve's home address...

and..
again..
as soon as you get a couple photos...make sure to post here and I will add to the Legion's Charity blog.
