Il-Chicago/60640-Toys Et Cetera-SAT 5/25/13

Post by Solcar23 »

Mission Report..............

Well the Toys Et Cetera troop turned out great! We arrived around 9:15 AM and loaded in. The store opened at 9:30 and as soon as we changed the store was already pretty full of kids. We took a couple of photos with one or two kids then proceeded to go to the front of the store and stand outside. There we then must've taken a ton of photos with the folks that were in the store. From there the photo ops came in waves but we were busy for the next two hours straight. I took the opportunity to go to the street and wave at cars and generally make a fool of myself which was completely fun! The looks on the people in the area was priceless! It was hilarious to see the fathers freak out, ask us how long we were going to be there and then literally RUN down the street to grab their kids and come back for a picture! Big fun! :D

The store manager Mike was awesome the whole time and they were really appreciative of our appearance. It looks as though there may be some more visits in the future too!

Overall a great troop!

They have informed me that they will be making a donation to Make-A-Wish in the Legion name and will provide me with the info as soon as they do it. From there I'll report it so we can include it in the yearly report.

173 pics have been uploaded into the Photobucket and are ready to view.

Carlos Mendoza - TK 5924 (TK)
Dave Klima - TK 12155 (TK)
Aaron Brigman - SL 2875 (Vader)
