Title: FYI: A, past, Garrison event
Post by: Hoot on January 26, 2009, 12:04:51 PM

The first event I ever spotted, for the garrison, was the Oregon Special Olympics. So why is this, bit of nostalgia, relevant? To even post as a topic? I was talking with a friend, they know I am trying to get into the 501st, and they told me that they heard that the, Oregon, Special Olympics was not going to go on this year.  Anyway I went and searched, to confirm, and it turns out that it is true (http://www.kgw.com/news-local/stories/kgw_011909_news_special_olympics_canceled.e9fa0b1.html).

Yes, that is true their donations have been way down this year.  I keep hoping someone like Phil Knight will step up, I'd put a swoosh on my armor for that. :mrgreen:

Dang, this was my first spotting event too. =(

There's no way this can happen. Someone's gotta step in... right?
