Marlyn....

Cheryl and I plan on being at the church early...I plan on getting there between 8:00 AM and 8:30 AM....so that would work perfect....

I am sorry that you can't join us...
Kevin was hoping for another RFT...
I have to be in Jedi that day to help Max "battle" Darth Maul...

Please make sure to pass the information along to anyone you know at work or in your community.....
We have lots of support from the Star Wars community...
now..
we just need people to come...

 

Sounds good. I will let people know.

 

If you are a Chewbacca fan...
I urge you to come...

Our Chewy from Wisconsin is going to be coming...
and his costume is AMAZING!!

He even walks on drywall stilts underneath the fur...

 

I went to Max's Journal here:

No pic posted yet on his journal, but I am sure there will be one soon of him in his journal.

I missed a great event, but it was a success!!!

Awesome job, Cheryl and Phyllis and to the rest of the volunteers in-state and out-of-state...
