Another successful troop at G-Mart Comics. The Midwest Garrison patrolled the grounds inside the store and out, posing for pictures and adding atmosphere to the event. Too bad there was no SW comic this year. :( Participating members: Thomas Bickel - 27823 Chip Childress - 9965 (EC) Rick Devine - 67...

Looks good! Congratulations!

Today at lunch, I went over to see Shane's armor, 501st clone, and it looks great! He just has one or two small things to do and he'll be ready for approval. Bryan's armor is looking good too.

Hi Pete,

Always good to welcome another area trooper. I'm over in Monticello. If you need help with anything or any information about the group, just ask.

Welcome!

On my birthday, we attended an event in St. Joseph, Illinois for the cub scouts. We passed out some of the awards and we were able to talk to the scouts about voluneering and helping the community. This was the first event for soon-to-be member Cory Coffey. Participating members: Chip Childress 9965...

Welcome to the group!

Welcome to the boards...again! Have you looked at the First Imperial Stormtrooper Detachment site? I'm sure they can answer a lot of your questions. I don't have TK armor anymore, but I always made sure to use as little velcro as possible and glue everything else. I always had a fan in my helmet. It...

Finally!

Congratulations!

Welcome to the group! We have many events around Champaign, especially as it gets warmer. You may want to contact Mark Berry for help on your Scout. Hope to troop with you soon!

---MENTOR REPORT--- Last night Shane sent me these pictures of his armor. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-b_YwZYoYYjo/Un52LKuN30I/AAAAAAAAJ8E/uToOyL8ssFg/s512/IMG_20131108_190122_322-1-1.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-lF7MqRk-iH4/Un52LN7QDWI/AAAAAAAAJ8A/535VI_FyV_c/s512/IMG95.jpg Congrat...

This was another good event with the Boy Scouts for the MWG. We helped with a small skit and then took pictures with all of the scouts. We're looking forward to this event next year.

Welcome!

For the second year we've traveled to Washington, IL to help with fundraising for St. Judes. Once again we trooped the town square and greeted cars as they passed through. Future MWG member, Brian Beebe, originally contacted us about this event and he organized his own volunteers again this year. We...

Glad to see you're back on clone armor production!

The conductor of the Urbana Pops contacted me about this event months ago. I caled him on the phone, and being a SW fan, he was really excited that we would be there. We had to climb steps back and forth to the dressing room, someone turned off the elevator that night. :x Other than that, the troop ...

No donations for this one.

Nope, no donation.

Star Wars Origami at Barnes and Noble was a new one for us. I was reluctant to do this event because we had so many going on for May 4th. I wanted to keep up our relations good with the local B & N, so I fit it in. Participating members: 9965 Chip Childress (coordinator) 6712 Rick Devine 4186 Roland...

This was the tenth year of Free Comic Book Day at G-Mart in Champaign! Here's a pic of me, as a shiny, at FCBD in 2003: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-m5hvUNSLzDw/RUjFCMY5ABI/AAAAAAAAACo/jYdxc9fMLmM/w640-h480-no/GMart303.jpg The tenth year was the best so far. We had three events that day, some...

Looking good!
