Jeeps for Joy Memorial Toy Drive!

    Quote from "wanderlust"

    That's it exactly. It'd be great to have it there, but having Santa there this year (not to dismiss Fred's showing as Santa last year!), there's the chance there will be more kids running around. God forbid one wanders away from his parents and too close to the ramp at the wrong time.


    What if it "just happened" to be in the parking lot off to the side and was not marked as being a part of the club. :hmm:

    I think seeing all of the Jeeps driving up it would give it away. Or maybe it would be the 2' wide club logos on it. We're not going to go through towing it all the way up there just to have it for show. Especially if the weather is bad.

    Icky is supposed to be working to be sure we have good weather. Brisk and sunny is what I believe was mandated for that day.

    good point, I'll have to add it to the website. it is specified in the half-page flyer, though.

    some guy followed me in to work yesterday. He has an fc-170 with a home made flat bed in Smyrna I think. I told him about the run on Saturday. He will try to make it.
    It would be cool to have 2 of the old gals there.

    The main point of this event is to collect toy donations for the children at AI duPont Hospital for Children, and Childrens Choice foster care for the Holidays. This event is in memory of 2 young Jeep enthusiasts, Matthew Allen and Keith McDaniels. Matt is the son of one of our members here, Bob Allen (hurrcane). So, although it's a gathering of everyone, and we try to have some fun while we're together, there is a serious side to this. These families are going through a very stressful time, emotionally and financially. We are trying to help these kids have a great Holiday by collecting these donations.


    The absolute most important thing going on this day is encouraging people to bring donations. It's the whole reason for this event, so if you show up, you should have a donation with you. We are collecting donations from 9am to 2 pm this Saturday. At approximately 2:30, we are having our Jeep caravan to AI to deliver the donations.


    During the day, everyone is more or less just hanging out, helping to take donations from anyone as they drive through.


    We do have some changes this year. There will be handouts to give anyone that donates, which give a brief history of the event, Santa will be there, and we have a raffle for various items.


    There's several posts in this forum regarding this event. It's the club's biggest community event, and it's only a few days away. It worries me with all of the work that's been done to try and promote this event, that someone on the forums so often doesn't even know what it's aobut.

    Just picked up my toys at KB Toys in the mall! The manager gave me a corporate discount, AND a bundle of coupons for $5 off a purchase of $50 or more. I know it's a little late, but if anyone wants any coupons, let me know. I can also bring them to the toy run to give to AI DuPont if they want them. Just a thought

    If no one here takes them, I'm sure AI will be happy to receive them.


    Thanks Icky!
