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!

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.

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.
