Maryland Family In Need -- We Need Cards!
« on: Apr 11, 2013, 08:30 AM »
ATTENTION ALL MERCS WITH TRADING CARDS!!!

Across the Star Wars costuming community, we are trying to send them as many trading cards as we can.



Quote from: Jace_Mereel
On January 31st, a Maryland family lost everything in a house fire. Worse, they lost their two youngest daughters, Sophie and Madigan. They're surviving daughter, Morgan, is 8 years old and a huge Star Wars fan.

The mom has been asking friends and family to send cards to Morgan with words of encouragement and support while they try to rebuild their lives. A neighbor got in touch with us and we'd love to get on board.

The Plan:

In the next couple weeks, we'd like as many people as we can get to write a card to Morgan. When lots of cards are gathered, we'll set up a time to present all the goodies to Morgan, in person and in costume!

A lot of you have contacts in other garrisons, so please pass this along to them! The more the merrier!

When you're done, you can mail them to me at the below address.

The mom is really excited about this and I know we can blow them away with support. Thanks in advance!

That's great, thank you!  Kimberly and I are sending our RL and 501st cards... and with our Mercs cards I'm going to drop in a Falco Clan patch.   8)

... and a couple good shots of us.
Personalized "glossies"... cool idea.   ;)

It was originally posted on the 501st board, then cross posted on the RL board.  I grabbed it and put it up here.  If a mod can post it on the Mercs FB page that would be great.  (...I didn't know the protocol for posting something like this on the Mercs FB page.)  Thank you.   :)

A sympathy card by itself would be fine, that's all they originally asked for.   ;)  Some are doodling themselves inside the card, or for the less artistic, print out and sign a 4" x 6".    :D 

They'll post when they have a date and location for the Invasion/Troop, some time in late May or early June has been mentioned.

I want to bump this up and encourage everyone who can to please sent something.  I just sent out a small package full of stickers, temp tattoos, and extra clan/organizational patches. Lets let Morgan know that the Mandalorians are looking out for her.  :)

As a future officer of the up and coming MD, Baltimore area clan...this is something that really hits my heart... will bring this up in our next armor party at the end of this month. This is something we need to think of and make this clan move a little faster twoards being official. I myself am done with my kit. Just need to get the time off work to submit pics.

Greetings Mercs,  I have been bugging Emily about this event and I believe we are looking at presenting this family and the dedication to the family on Nov 9th. This is still not set in stone.  I will try to post more details as I get them. We are very grateful for everything that has been sent and the all the love and support from fellow Mercs.  I will be attending in my Mando kit with some 501st members as well and will try to have someone on site to get plenty of pics.

We have the final information for this event.  It will be at Adventure Park USA near Frederick MD at 330 on Nov 9th.  If anyone is in the area and would like to attend please post here or PM me.  Old Line Garrison will have several troopers as well as The Rebel Legion Terrapin Station.  They do not have a space to fit us or to secure armor bins so we are getting dressed in the parking lot then bringing her out to us so we do not get mobbed by the rest of the crowd and maintain the attention on Morgan.

The event went very well.  Thanks to all the contributions, we had a very nice assortment of cards and gifts for Morgan.  Even a signed print from the voice of Asohka, Ashley Eckstein. 
Mando's in attendance, Myself, Vultana with his Jango Fett, and DarkNoize.  We are the OM's in the MD area working on getting our Clan set up.
Here are just a few pics.
We 3 Mandos had a very important Bounty to collect.

Morgan with the Rebel Legion Terrapin Base, Mando Mercs, and 501st Old Line Garrison and i believe we had 1 or 2 from Garrison Tyranus.

Morgan was very happy to see all of the gifts.  I am sure the pain from her loss was put back in her mind even if just for a little while.

Morgan and all of her friends from the Birthday Party
