Monday June 11th is day number one of my jury duty 
If my group doesn't get selected for duty that day, you could end up with an additional TK. 

...just in case though, don't count me on your roster.

Quick update. . .  I pushed her for a decision on the donation and she said the meeting with the agency is on Thursday, so she'll know by then.  I've been fairly stong about the "no dough, no show" message, so hopefully we get some positive news.

[tbbaker69]

Yet another update...  Corp Comm didn't balk at the idea, but they also didn't give us a solid thumbs up.  They asked for an estimate on the DCH donation amount, so I told them we'd scale the attendance level based on the donation size.  Starting at $1000, we'd guarantee 6 troopers.  If they chip in more, we'll send more troops.

So... if they come through with the donation, then I'm really counting on some firm commitments from folks in the garrison.  This could be the most sizable donation of the year!

I should hear back from them by tomorrow.  If they don't respond until Wed, then it's going to be "best effort" regardless of the donation size.  They recognize that we donate our time and we need advance notice to get the time off from our day jobs.  (Yes, despite what Bob Eubanks said during the Rose Parade... many of us do indeed have day jobs. )

Alright folks, it's a go.  They have the dough, so now we've gotta show!  They are ponying up $1000 for Doernbechers, so let's step up and do it right.  I know it's tough for people to get the morning off, but I'm committed to delivering at least 6 stormtroopers to enforce the laws of the Empire.

I've updated the first post, but here's the key point...

I'd like to get firm commitments from everyone by Friday, June 8th.  It's a great opportunity to make a big contribution for our #1 charity.  They can help a lot of kids with that $1000, so let's step up and make this happen folks.  Let's show Tektronix and DCH the strength of CCG and the Empire!

I'm still getting the details of exactly when we need to be there, so stay tuned.  I'll start an official roster once I know the exact times.  I'm looking for a 100% firm commitment, so please keep that in mind when you sign onto the roster.  (Obviously we don't want to embarass us or Tektronix by only showing up with 2 troopers and expecting a $1000.)   Since this is also an official gig, I've flagged it as 501st cannon.

as long as we don't get arrested for copywrite enfringement...im there.

OK, Dave & Paul are on board.  Thanks!!!

As stated before, I start jury duty that day so cannot commit showing up until after I know if my group will be called in.  I won't know until after 5pm Sunday night.


 :!:sorry - correction:  I won't know until after 5:15pm FRIDAY night!  (helps to fully read instructions, huh?  )

Scot - I need 6 for sure, but anyone over that is a bonus for us.  So please keep reading this thread and come if you can make it.  It'd be great to have you there.

I've updated the first post with more details.  We need to be there to suit up at 9am on Monday. The skit starts at 10am and will run about 45-60 minutes, so we should be done around 11am.  I also offered that some of us would be willing to stick around for photos through lunch time.  So if you're interested, I think we can do that.  If you need to bail at 11, feel free.

(BTW - There is a dry run on Sunday night, but I'll attend that and just give you guys the rundown when you show up on Monday morning.  It shouldn't be anything too complex.)

I will check with my bosses (work and home) and I should be able to say for sure on Thursday.

My fiance is availiable that day as well, however she doesn't have a costume or anything. If we come up short on bodies, maybe we can throw some armor on her?
