Toys-For-Tots at The Disney Store in Lynnhaven Mall on Nov. 17th

What: Toys-For-Tots troop led by the 501st Legion

When: November 17th (Saturday), 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM.

Where: The Disney Store inside Lynnhaven Mall in VA Beach.

I am extending an invitation to all canon & non-canon costumed members of the Tidewater Alliance FanForce, Rebel Legion, and Hampton Roads Rebellion FanForce to maximize participation in our area.

We'll be hanging around and outside the store to draw people into the premises and encourage toy donations. Lots of photography by store patrons is to be expected.

There's a strong chance you'll be able to change in the backroom of the store depending on space. Details to follow as event get closer.

Lynnhaven Mall generates a lot of foot traffic during this time of the year, so this will be a lot of fun!

Hope you can a make it!

Sounds like great fun, would love to attend. Will be looking forward to it.
Hope you don't mind i copied the info to the Tidewater Alliance site so more people could read it.

Cool thanks Alan for the invite. I will def put this on the calendar and hopefully we can have some people go out for this awesome and worthy cause.

Not at all Darth Primus, as the event gets closer, I'll provide more details.

Looking forward to trooping with everyone!

Sounds good! Lets rally the troops!

Thanks for posting the info.

Alan, Thanks for inviting us. We are getting a pretty good response. It's always great to help kids.

I will def. try to make it!

Primus and I both will be there. The TA will be making a very good Showing.
If someone outside of the groups wants to help, What can they do? My neighbor wants to come and help.

we could always use handlers. they could also help with photography.

This is going to be great

To reduce congestion in the mall/kiosks areas, Lynnhaven Mall Management would like us to break the group up into 2 groups, each with a different shift (11AM - 1PM & 1PM - 3PM). I anticipate there will be 5-8 costumers in each group. There will be a Marine on hand on each shift to monitor the TFT donations.

Please indicate which shift you would like to be in. I will be in both shifts to liaise with the Marine Corp contact, Disney Store Manager, and Mall Manager.

I would like to achieve a "balance" between armored costumes and soft costumes, so bear in mind I may ask you to move over if I feel there are too many costumes of one category in a group.

Prop weapons will be allowed in public.

Due to limited space in the Disney Store's backroom, we cannot change there. You must find an alternative place to change either in the parking lot or in the Lynnhaven Mall bathrooms. All your belongings will be your responsibility to care for. We cannot leave them inside the store, even on a temporary basis, while we troop.

Rick and I will both be coming a x-wing pilots. If you need us to move to the morning shift, please let me know.

Here's an updated list. So far both groups look balanced in terms of costume type. It's still early yet. So let's allow people to stay within their chosen timeslot for now.
