Lucasfilm/Disney has launched a new series of visits to children's hospitals nationwide called "Master Your Force". These visits are orchestrated with participating hospitals, Disney Volunt-ears, Lucasfilm employees, and members of the costuming groups.
The Midwest Garrison and Nar Shaddaa Base were requested to visit Lurie Children's Hospital as the second "stop" of this tour. The tour began in New York.
Patients were brought together in the Family Center at Lurie's and the events were televised throughout the hospital on their in-house system so that other kids who could not be in the Family Center could still see and hear.
The hosts had a lot of toys and gifts for the kids and some interactive play set up.
The LCO of the Rebel Legion (William Holmes) was asked to lead the kids through Jedi training while the rest of us mingled with the patients.
My sincere thanks to those who took off work, traveled far, and helped with this endeavor.
