Comments: This is a brand new charity convention in Vancouver that is trying too bring all groups of fandom together to raise money and have fun Referred by: Other conventions and some friends of mine are in your group
OK Folks!! We thought we weren't going to do this because we were not confident we could pull enough things together, and the event was asking us originally for the full FanExpo experience.
Further discussions convinced me that we should be able to pull something smaller off!
- An info table (1 person per hour/shift)
- A Photo Booth (2-4 per hour/shift)
- Blast-A-Trooper (1-2 per hour/shift. Will close when not enough troopers and schedule that with the event)
A regular roster will be added, but actual signups will be similar to the C4 process....see the steps below:
1) Click this link https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19FReRvj47_MQJlXR26-IP0craEFbhASaSgDVcSHlwK0/edit?usp=sharing
2) Put your info in the "Trooper Info" sheet
3) Fill in your shifts in the "Schedule" sheet
- 3 shifts gets you a free pass to the event
- 4 or more get a free pass and a super special selfie with ME!
Keep checking for any updates! This would be a great event for those of us who like to pull all day fun! And yes I would love to have all our clubs there
