Heroes expo - need volunteers to man table
|
I thought i'd post a thread where we could put out some ideas for the Heroes expo in Syracuse this October. I am thinking of having a raffle with a few of my autographed pics from Celebration IV and donating the money to a worthwhile cause, like maybe the Ronald McDonald house or something like that. Also I had an idea about a mini Jedi Training Academy, similar to the one they have at Disneyland and at C4. It wouldn't be that difficult to do, it could probably be accomplished for less than $100 and some volunteer time, all we would really need to do is buy plastic lightsabers (or bring them from home), and maybe make some Jedi robes or do without them. At the end the kids could get padawan certificates. We would need a sith or two to fight against (vader or maul) and a few Jedi to do the training of the kids. Just putting this out there, I think it could be easily accomplished, what do you all think?
I'm also thinking of putting together a slideshow of pics from C4.

Sounds like fun, I know the Buffalo group does these fairly regularily. maybe contact them on some pointers.
Also there really won't be any room to do in in the main room, you may want to contact them about additional room or hall space.

In the past when we have done mini jedi training we ahve always used the pool noodles so no one gets hurt. So if thats what you really would like to do I can always bring the ones I already have. 
We have a tote for SCJ that has raffle stuff/tickets etc. If you want to donate some items I have the tickets.
In the past the charity we most commonly collect for has been ronald Mcdonald house. Instead of collecting money which we always can, we have in the past asked for food donations. I can contact the promotor and see if they can advertise to bring a canned good. Otherwise we can have a kitty set up for monetary donations as well.
I have coloring books I make and can sell those as well. I have a few Tshirts left over I can bring to sell. Once their gone their gone  we will have to either come up with a new logo or do another run of the design we have. Personally Im all for doing a new logo
We usually do face painting, we charge 2.00 and all that goes to charity as well. If we have any volunteers for face painting then we're good to go.
A slideshow would be great. I have a laptop I can bring and I have a photo album with past events we can display.
So key I think is making sure we have enough volunteers to man the tablwe so we can actually have a nice display and variety.
I know I will be there and I can rope yoda into going provided he isnt busy that weekend
Any other volunteers?
I think if you post what times you are available and what you are interested in helping with (bring) etc that would be great!
I can bring pool noodles (just in case)
Face paint
Coloring books
photo Album
Laptop (if needed)
Raffle tickets
JediXtine:
Slideshow?
Raffle Items?
We could use some raffle items donated. I think I have one C3 Vader figure left I can toss in the basket.
this is a huge recruiting opportunity for us so I think we hsould have a sign upo sheet for our mailing list as well.
I will have some biz cards made up and pass those out.
Im excited!!

I'll bring at least one framed autographed photo for raffle, maybe i'll bring two. The noodles sound like a good idea, I can also make up some certificates we can give out to the kids similar to what they hand out at Disneyland, declaring them an official Jedi padawan. I'll have to think up some more ideas.

I plan on going for certain, especially since my daughter will want to see Daniel Logan again. Hope to see you there! Too bad we couldn't get a table, that's just wierd.... I haven't decided if we are costuming it or not.

yeh Im very disappointed we did not hear anything back from the promotor. I am disappointed 501st got in but not FF.
not sure what thats all about. this would have been a great opportuniy to not only promote our group but the upcoming halloween event in syracuse this same month.
*sighs* I will be good and refrain from any further commenting on this. the whole thing in general is disappointing.

I know that Ayka (Andy) from Rochester is coming and bringing his Fett as well.
He was saying the other day he is looking forward to meeting you.
