I need help....

I don't know if all of you know, but I joined the Houston Junior League this year. I know, I know....most of you think I am kinda crazy for it, but I think I am REALLY going to like parts of it - a LOT.

Yesterday we went to our first training at Texas Childrens Hospital (TCH) and we learned about our placements...mine is Radio Lollipop. I had heard that it was amazing - but didn't know a lot about it and I learned so much last night. It is a really awesome program. It is an in-house radio program where they have a studio at the hospital and invite the kids to come down to play, sing, dance, and be a guest DJ for the night. They also have themes, and for the kids who can't leave their rooms to go visit, they do craft projects related to the theme (which we deliver to the kiddos's rooms) and then they can call into the DJ and make requests, and they have prizes for the best craft and other great things.

It is a REALLY neat program. We went down to visit last night and they immediately started talking about us on the radio and put on the Cuban Shuffle (which most people know I totally dislike - but guess I will have to start loving it - but I digress) - and made all of the JL girls dance in the hallway. Of course, we had some kiddos teaching us the way and it was really cute. Supposedly they try to get the kiddos to go do it in the hallway too!

Well, the one thing we have to do is to have a "Radio Name" and wear a hat -- most people do a theme. There was one girl who was like "Texas Tamara" and she wore a cowboy hat and such. Other people could be "Princess Laura" and wear a tiara. That is how everyone knows you. Basically, it is a way to show the kiddos we aren't coming to poke and prod them and have a little fun.

SO, we are all supposed to come up with a radio name and a hat for us to wear. I need help with mine -- so I am looking for suggestions. They don't want us to use our last names, so we need to stick with first names. PLEASE leave a comment if you have a suggestion - and include what "Hat" I could wear. Remember I have to wear it for 3 hours straight and running around dancing in the halls, so it can't be too outrageous. (and lets remember - kid friendly!)

I look forward to hearing what you have to say.....and even more about getting to volunteer at TCH and working with the radiolollipop program. (if you want some more info on radio lollipop - it is an international program - just google it. It is an AMAZING program!!!)
