Illinois, Monticello 4H club Camp Healing Heart Event
Saturday, October 6th, 2007, troops from the Central Illinois area of the Midwest Garrison set up an outpost to add cheer and excitement to the Camp Healing Heart Event in Monticello, Illinois. We set up our tattoo station while our troops donned their armor and headed into the fray of younglings clamoring for their attention.
The event is for younglings who have suffered a traumatic loss in their lives. Counselors moved their charges to different game booths set up for the children’s amusement. The organizers of the event had a backdrop set up for photo opportunities.
Our tattoo station marked nearly 150 younglings, if not for life, then at least for the next few weeks. Our fliers flew off the table, though mainly to be used for getting the autographs of Lord Vader and Boba Fett and the troopers. You haven’t lived till you seen a Stormtrooper try to sign autographs using his thigh armor as a table. Gloves and helmets are not conducive to scribing your TK#.
After several hours with the children our troops gathered for pizza and talks about plans for future events.
