Star Wars Night for Special Needs Individuals
2020-01-09 18:30 - 19:30 | 11400 S 1300 E, 11400 S 1300 E, Sandy, UT, 84094, United States
we are doing is a Star Wars themed activity for special needs kids, ages 12 up through their twenties. What I’m wanting to do is have a bunch of stormtroopers/Star Wars characters there about 6:30 to greet the kids as they come into the building. They have an opening exercise welcome thing from 7:00 to 7:15pm. Then they’ll divide up into groups and rotate from room to room playing different themed Star Wars games for like the next hour or so. I’m hoping that during that time and towards the end, if the kids want it, the cosplayers would take pictures with them. Some of the kids will have sensory issues, and will be in a quiet room, but I bet they’d love to see the characters. So all together, I’m thinking it will be 2 or 21/2 hours. The address is 11400 S 1300 E, right on the Draper sandy border. I would think anywhere from 4 to 10 people would be awesome!

Ronald McDonald House at Midway Ice Castles
2020-01-18 11:00 - 12:00 | Midway Ice Castles, 700 Homestead Dr, Midway, UT, United States
The Ronald McDonald House has invited us to participate in their Ice Castles event for children at the Ronald McDonald House and their families. The event is prior the Ice Castles opening to the public so no admission fees are required.
As this is on snow and ice, troopers must have boot cleats for safety. I prefer the Yaktrax Walk Traction Cleats with the metal on the bottom, but there are other options available.
As this is a great place for photo shoots, please reserve the hour from 11:00 am – Noon for the kids and their families. After Noon, you can take pictures to your hearts content, but the public will be allowed in at this point, so we will have to plan around them asking for pictures, as well.
Plan on Changing at your vehicle but watch the Facebook page for updated information.
Heroic will also be at this event, but they will be in a different section us.

It’s as close to real-world engineering as a student can get. Volunteer professional mentors lend their time and talents to guide each team. Each season ends with an exciting FIRST Championship.

FanX May 4th Virtual Panel
2020-05-02 16:30 | Online Zoom Meeting\
FanX has asked us to participate in a virtual panel discussion that will be prerecorded on May 2nd at 5:00 pm. Garrison Command will determine who the Garrison’s spoke person will be, but anyone who wishes to kit up and be part of the panel may do so. Keep in mind, you may only be on camera for a few seconds, but you will need to be in kit the whole time as we don’t know exactly when you will be shown.
Some key items to be aware of:
1- Do you have a good quality webcam?
2- Do you have a good internet connection?
3- It’s short notice, can you do it?
4- More for me than anyone else (I hope), do you still fit in your kit?!? 🙂
5- Be aware of your background of your video and your surroundings. I think we’ve all seen the embarrassing virtual meetings memes out there.
As soon as I have the meeting information, I’ll post it to the event page.
We will start the meeting around 30 minutes before we start recording at 5:00 pm to go over any technical issues and to go over some of the questions.

Stump the 501st Legion
2020-05-04 15:00 - 16:00 | UT
Clark Planetarium has invited us to participate in their virtual May 4th activity of “Stump the 501st Legion”. During this fun online panel, we will be asked various questions from those watching to see if they can stump the “experts” (that would be us). A Zoom meeting will be sent out as soon as I get it.

The event starts promptly at 3:00 pm on May 4th

Kits: So we can answer questions, we are going to be dressed in our Legion or Garrison racing shirts and have your bucket either in front of you or next to you to show which character you kit up as.

Like the FanX event, a good internet connection and a webcam is needed. Phone cameras or iPad cameras can be used as Zoom will work on those devices.

We have no idea how well this will work out, but let’s have some fun with it. We are all making this up as we go. 🤪

Watch the event Facebook page for updates

Video Shout Out for Hillside
2020-05-22 08:00 - 17:00 | UT
Hillside Middle School has asked that we get as many members provide video shout-outs to the students of Hillside Middle School for making it through the year. Things that can be said are things like, “Congratulations on making it through the years!” Or “It’s been quite the year! Way to go in making it through!” Things like that. You can be in kit on in a group shirt holding your helmet or lightsaber. As this is for a school, we should probably still keep blasters out of the video. Have some fun with it.
Please send the video to me (Denney Fifield) on Facebook Messenger, I’ll put the video together for them. We need the videos by Friday the 22nd so we can get it to the school in time. We’d love to have representation from all the groups.

Restrictions:
As we are still in a global pandemic, we still must take precautions. The local clubs have discussed this and agree on these restrictions. There is to be no more than 6 costumers kitted up and trooping the event at any given time. No changing space will be provided, as any space would be too small of an area. We ask that you please kit up at your car. Please bring a spotter of your own home/pod to assist you in kitting up, during the event, and kitting down if you require a spotter. Costumers will remain behind stanchions while they are trooping to help to maintain social distancing. There are to be no costumers in the store while trooping. Costumers and spotters must wear a mask at all times while in public. Failure to wear a mask/ disregard for this rule will result in not being allowed to sign up for public troops in the future during the pandemic. Spotters and costumers are not allowed to touch any item that the public would hand to them, including phones to take a picture. Please maintain distance during and after the troop. We know it has been a while, but safety is paramount to insure we can continue doing this.

From the event contact (Austin’s Dad):
“My son Austin is turning 12 on Friday, Dec 11. As part of his birthday, we will be receiving his gift through Make-A-Wish here in Utah. They are an amazing charitable organization that has worked hard to bring Austin a shopping spree after his vacation with Make-A-Wish was cancelled because of Covid-19. Austin doesn’t know they are coming on the 11th and doesn’t know how they will be delivered. I was looking for a way to get the presents to him in a fun and memorable way. I thought (obviously last minute) that this might be a way to get it done as Austin is a huge Star Wars fan.

Austin has a severe mitochondrial disease, but he is such a fun kid. He loves Star Wars (especially the Mandalorian right now). He also loves Fortnite and thinks the crossover is amazing.”
This is a Multi-club event (no limits to # of attendees).
Instructions for attendees:
Please arrive early so that we have time to be ready to go exactly at 11 AM. Drivers and costumers will arrive, get prepared, and line up in the parking lot. Drivers will need to line their vehicles up to drive by the house with the passenger side facing it. The plan is to meet at the parking lot and when our event contact messages us, to drive by his house:
Austin’s Home
579 E 2780 N
Provo, UT 84604
No troopers with a full bucket on can drive. They must have a spotter drive them and they will sit on the passenger side. Masks must be worn and social distancing maintained (6 feet) . If you are not feeling well the day of, please do not attend.
*** Deadline to sign up is Thursday December 10 at Noon! We want to be able to provide the event contact an estimated number of vehicles and participants attending. Please post here on Thursday the number of possible attendees from your groups so that I (Jakob) can prepare the list for the event contact. ***
