You might ask Genvieve de Lirincourt(sp) to visit with the hospital catering/cafeteria staff to see how the regular meal could be dressed up to seem more medieval.

The idea of special tokens or gifts is a good one and I am certain the creative minds of Elfsea can take this and run. We might think about parti-color cotton surcoats made of cotton to cover their hospital gowns. 

We can probably also create some fine scrolls sing a color printer for each guest.

Most of you know me, I am Vittorio Dona.  I am the local rapier Marshall for Elfsea. What you may not know is that mundanely, I am a pharmacy technician.  Working in the medical field you see a lot.  I have a soft spot for the sick, especially children.  When I found out that we could have the opportunity to bring some joy and happiness to these kids come summer I couldn't pass it up. The time of year when they should be out swimming with their friends and enjoying a brake from school but instead they are stuck in the hospital.  

So with that I would like to ask your support for "Elfsea Bringing the Middle Ages to Cook".

The actual party we will only be allowed to have a very small number in attendance.  If you're interested in actually attending and interacting with these children, please contact me directly. All attendees must have a photograph waiver on file or be willing to sign a new one.

We do however need support to send with the attendees.  We will be providing them with a medieval themed party. In the interest of keeping everyone involved I'll be happy to share the details over email rather than getting together for coffee. Though I am happy to do that always.

We are asking for gifts for 7 to 11 year olds.  We would need approx 30 gifts with a mix of boys and girls.  If this is something we plan on doing next year (hint hint) then we can make more to ensure that no one is left out or make unisex gifts.  Ideas for gifts? Remember no latex.  I was thinking of a stuffed doll but in the shape of a crown and maybe something like knight or lady specific. I am not real creative so I would love ideas.

I was thinking since it is a party would put on a feast type party with a throne for a boy and girl to sit next to any royalty that may attend.  And we could rotate them out to give everyone a chance. The food would be at the tables.  Food is another thing. Should we cook or purchase? These are children that are going through a lot so I can contact the hospital for specific requirements on dietary needs.  The only thing I've gotten so far is that we would be responsible for food/snacks/treats.

I also thought we could tell some stories while sporting our best bling.  Possibly coloring pages for the kids to keep for later.  Maybe games in the mean time?

Other games/activity ideas? go?
