UPDATES/UPON ARRIVAL: Here is contact info for the day, in order of preference.

Rebekah - 503-310-2548
Chris (me) - 312-852-2010
- This is the FIRST time we are allowing visitors onto the oncology unit - we have not even allowed siblings, yet, so this is a pretty big deal. We will only allow 4-5 people, and we need to make sure everyone is able to either wash their hands or sanitize gloves (for those wearing gloves)?
- 10am we will be divided into smaller groups for individual room visits. They will go until 11:30am. 12-13:30pm Saber Guild will have a demonstration.
- PARKING UPDATE from the host: With the number of people coming (which is awesome, BTW), we have arranged for additional parking in the main hospital garage: Garage F and the guest code for the day is 8358RLDM. Map and instructions are below. I would suggest telling those that have the most equipment to use Lot 20 and all others use Garage F. For those going to Garage F, they will need to go from there to the front lobby of Doernbecher where someone will be waiting to guide you the rest of the way.
- PARKING Lot 20 Info: you want to park in the clearly marked reserved spots. They could only get us 10 spots, they will be getting more information to us where the next best place to park is if those spots are full.
- From the host: We will arrange for someone to meet and guide you to the changing/storage area when people arrive. Please make sure to come to the rear entrance of Doernbecher hospital. It is in between where the pediatric ambulances park and the outdoor play area for the pediatric oncology clinic. The lot name is “Parking Lot 20”on SW US Veterans Hospital Rd, which is labeled on Google Maps and has pictures of what it looks like. There is a map below.
CAUSE: Doernbecher Children's Hospital
PARKING: We will make parking available for Garrison members at a lot close to the rear hospital entrance.
CHANGING AND STORAGE: We use a lockable conference room in an adjacent building for members to get dressed and store items. This room is right across the hallway from restrooms.
COSTUME REQUESTS: Mixture of characters would be perfect
PHOTOGRAPHY PERMITTED: Yes, but there are patient privacy issues that will need to be addressed
BLASTER POLICY: Please no blasters, but lightsabers are welcomed
MEMBERS' CHILDREN IN COSTUME: No, please keep signups limited to adult members of Cloud City Garrison and Kashyyyk Base
ROSTER CAP: 15
OTHER DETAILS: Doernbecher has been having a May the 4th celebration each year for our patients and staff members for a few years, now, and we are planning the upcoming celebration. We have always had members from the Cloud City Garrison and Kashyyyk Base join us and we would be honored if they would join us again.
ANYTHING ELSE: Thank you for the many times you have brightened the lives of our patients and staff! The event last year was the first event we had allowed since the beginning of the pandemic, and it was a HUGE success. May the Force be with you! Master Khann Raa Dii of the Doernbecher Jedi Order.
We are limited to 15. Any extras will be back up. Please be sure you can attend if you sign up since it is a limited number.
