Kyle, Rick, along with T'igor, Jodi, Matt and myself did this last year. It was a pretty cool gig. It was a bit chilly, but it was a lot of fun. As you can see, it is an annual event and Cloud City has been asked to show up again. Last year we walked out onto the field to meet with the family that this charity event was for. This year, it looks like they are going to bring us all out on some sort of vehicle.

I know that there is an event already scheduled for that day, but if there is anyway anyone else can participate, it would be good.

Let's help this family out!

2009/7th Annual Pig Bowl Flag Football Game
Location: The Dalles, Oregon at The Dalles Wahtonka High School (Freshman Campus)
Address: 3601 w 10th St. The Dalles, OR 97058
Date: 09/26/2009 (Saturday)
Time 7 PM (1900 hrs) Try to be there by 6 PM (1800 hrs)


For: Jennifer Magill
Local The Dalles resident who was diagnosed with Stage 4 (Doesn?t get any worse than this.) Rectal cancer. Similar to Farrah Fawcett. She has been doing Chemo for 3 years (unheard of for this length of time). She has recently been trying to get into a special program in Seattle but even if she gets selected they could not afford to go there due to her not working anymore and her husband (Jason) having a lesser paying job after the Aluminum Plant shutdown. They have a 6 year old boy as well. She is 33 years and having this kind of cancer this early in life is pretty rare.

1) Contact an Outside Entity:
Rattlehead

2) Determine Security Issues :
There will be a decent amount of Law Enforcement around since Law enforcement will be putting on the event. Honestly, security will not be an issue. If something were to arise then contact Rattlehead.

3) Communicate the Event Information to the Garrison/Legion :
Can anyone head this up and coordinate with Rattlehead?

4) Arrange for Water :
As soon as I know how many are going to be there I got you all covered.

5) Make Food Arrangements, if possible :
There will be Pizza sold there for a $1 a slice to raise money. Please help out! Sometimes there is Pizza left over and you are all welcome to some if there is some left over.

7) Arrange for a Handler(s) :
Security is not an issue in my opinion. We have several staff members around handling all aspects of the event.

Backup Trooper :
? I hope there will be no one left to be back up as everyone will be there.

9) Contact the local press :
This has already been taken care of on a local aspect. If you can contact more news down there in Portland then awesome.

10) Be Early :
6 PM(1800 hrs)

11) Supervise Trooper Activity :
There will be several people at the event to inform who ever needs to be notified that someone has crossed whatever line it is that they have crossed.

12) Post a Follow Up & Thank You :
I hope to be able to do this! Meaning I hope someone is able to come by and hang out with us.

13) Notify the Command Staff About Problems :
Let Rattlehead know of any problems or your Commander.

ADDITIONAL NOTE:
There is an after party every year and you are all invited. It is a lot of fun and if anyone is going to spend the night and drink we can arrange a DD to get you to your place of sleeping be it in a tent or hotel. People are welcome to tent it in my back yard this year as well. I?m 2 blocks from the party location.
Let me know in advance if this will be the case.
Rattlehead/Curt

Rattlehead here! We are gearing up for the Pig Bowl again this year. Looking forward to meeting you all. This year cause is pretty important I think. We are hoping as many of you are coming down as possible.

Thanks in advance.

This just in from Curt:

Bill,
I have a lot of people asking if Vader is going to show, any ideas there?

I was hoping a central character was going to be there as I think it would rock if we could get that person to take a ride on the Life Flight Helicopter to the event. It would be about a 5 minute hop. Picture Lord Vader landing at the the event on the field and walking out of the helicopter with 2 Mando's there to greet him and of course he would bring the game ball. Pretty cool!
Of course this all hinges on Vader showing and having some peper work filled out for Life Flight and Life flight being available and not getting called out on a call. You never know when they are needed.

I was hoping some Rebels would show as well but I understand everyone is busy or tired or can't afford the trip.

The way things are shaping up this is seems to be the biggest year we are going to have so far. People are really talking about it.

The guys are asking if you guys are coming back this year againa nd looking forward to it. Remember there is the party afterward as well.

We will see you in 3 weeks.


This is 3 weeks away. If there is anyone not doing another event that day, and can make the trek out there, it will be greatly appreciated. Kyle, Rick, Matt and myself, along with Jodi and T'igor did this last year. We had a great time, and it looks like this year is going to be even bigger yet.

To echo Allan's words.... rally troopers. We do need a Vader!

Let me know, asap!

Thanks!

Bill

Is Patrick afraid of flying? Still working the Vader fly in on the chopper thing.

Let me know if he is interested in doing this.

I sent in the request about him flying in the helicopter, but I haven't got a response in regard to that. Just that he was willing to come as Vader.

Bill,

Obviously there is no requirment for the helicopter ride just thought it would be cool and it is not a total go with Life Flight at this point. I will keep you posted.

OK. Thanks for the update. We do have Vader, regardless, thanks to Patrick.

I'm also working on another Mando buddy into joining us for all of the fun. I'll keep the roster updated.

It really is. And these people are really hospitable. They had an after-game party afterwards where we all just hung out and had a very good time. The whole community really comes out for these yearly events.

This is our second time going back to this event. I am sure this can easily become one of those yearly events for us to participate in.

For those going, I suggest to dress warmly. Even though it is late September, it is a bit chilly over there. What can I say? It is the Gorge, after all. I remember T'igor had a cold last year and he was pretty well bundled up. I don't know how Kyle put up with the cold in his Clone. I do remember I was in the Officer and there were times when I was feeling the brisk breeze.

Something to keep in mind, everyone!

I hope it will not be as cold as last year and in theory it won't be but you will know prior to coming down to The Dalles. Just check online and I will post how things are doing here and that way you all have a heads up.

This just in.....

This event is next week (Saturday), I was asked if those who are going were planning on spending the night out there, or not. If anyone are planning on staying out there for the night, Curt needs to know so he can make some accommodations.

Let me know, ASAP, so I can get back to him.

Thanks!
