El Pirata Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 Here it is!! Michael's treasure trove!!!Royaliste's certificate for a sale will be scorched around the edges to look properly aged, I will add a chain to Bess' POTC Aztec coin and we'll also have the list of well wishing pirates added. I should have it in the mail before Thursday. That be the mother lode.... Pushing the limits means getting out of my comfort zone and giving more when I don't think I have any left.

Thomas B. Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 You guys all did a very good job and very possibly made this young man's day. He will remember the day a bunch scoundrels and scalywags came together to raise his spirits. My hats off to all of you. May i make one suggestion...............There are children every day at the shriners hospitals and burn centers across the country who could also use cheering up. If any of you would like to make a difference in the lives of some children on a regular basis call one of these hospitals and ask if you can come in to visit the kids.(in costume of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalesOfTheSevenSeas Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 Hey Thomas, I did give my card to some folks at St Rose Hospital in Hayward, with the suggestion that we could come in as volunteers periodically, but haven't heard back yet. I would love to get that going. Is there a Shriners in the Bay Area or does someone have a contact in the SF Bay Area for another hospital who would like to have a pirates visit? Also along the lines of volunteering, I do children's storytimes and history presentations for kids and adults, but both Saber and I would like to do hospital visits. -Claire "Poison Quill" Warren Pyrate Mum of Tales of the Seven Seas www.talesofthesevenseas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt Grey Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 Visiting a hospital on costume takes a lot of planning and preparation. My suggestion is to contact the public relations or press department. I recently did a Star Wars visit to the San Diego Children's Hospital and there were some strict rules for us to follow such as not attending if we had an illness in the past 5 days, not telling the kids to "get well soon" (some are terminal), plus the sight of kids in wheelchairs, kids with a bunch of tubes hanging off of them, kids with oxygen masks over their faces. You also have to deal with "rejection" if the child is nervous or scared. One little girl screamed and ran to her daddy when all those Stormtroopers came in. Since I didn't have armor on (I was an officer), I took some goodies to her so she could have some "loot". Overall there is nothing more gratifying than doing something like this for the kids. Being a parent myself I can understand how heartwrenching it is to see your child sick or suffering. Visits like these are a treat for both the kids and the staff. Oh, and I'm glad "Madman Michael" is enjoying his treasure! Captain, we always knew you were a whoopsie. Rumors of my death are entirely premature.

Thomas B. Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 Well put Cap'n Grey, we usually have a great time at the hospital here, and the kids really get a kick out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
