Toy Run Committee sign up

I would be happy to help out with this again this year. For the past 2 years, I've done the posters and any advertising, and I have all of that information, as well as contact information for the dealer dropoffs, radio, tv stations and newspapers already saved. I've also been the contact for one of the drop offs, and the Roadhouse where we have the event.

I'll get in touch with Jen Marrero soon to see if she can help with contacts for DuPont and Childrens Choice, or give me the contact information.

If we could have enough people volunteer for this, we can possibly have a separate meeting in August or Sept. to go over what will need to be done. We will need a contact for the Jeep dealers and other locations we usually have as drop offs:

Wilmington
BCJ-Brandywine Chysler Jeep
(I will handle this drop off again)

Newark Chrysler-Jeep

New Castle
Gambacorta Chrysler-Jeep

Dover
Hertrich Nissan Jeep

Milford
IG Burton Chrysler

Seaford
I.G. Burton C-D-J-of Seaford

Rehoboth
Stride-Rite Outlet
(Chuck's store, he will be the contact)

Roadhouse Steak Joint
4732 Limestone Road
(I will handle this contact)

Briefly, here is what's involved with being a drop off contact:

-visit the dealer ahead of time and ask if they are willing to be a drop off again. we have event descriptions you can take to them, as well as fliers they can hand out. You would explain the timeline of events to them as well.
-inquire if they would like to be a sponsor. For a specified amount, they would receive a listing and website link on the Toy Run page, as well as have their name on the back of the Toy Run shirts.
-make and deliver a large gift wrapped box with poster as a collection point
-visit the dealer a few weeks before the event to check on box, and see if they need anything additional, or if they have an abundance of donations, collecting some early
-the Friday night before the Toy Run, you will go and collect the donations and box, and bring the donations with you to the Toy Run on Saturday.

It's not a lot of work, but please be sure if you volunteer that you can carry through to the end. We don't want a box of donations left someplace that don't reach the children on time, plus it makes the club and event look bad.

If you sign up to be on this committee, we will try and meet BEFORE a regular monthly meeting if possible, at 4pm, in August to try and run through what will need to be done when the time comes. Nothing needs to be done just yet, lets figure out who's on the committee and we'll meet and discuss things.

Of course you can count on me. And I'm sure that Bob Allen will continue to remain involved.

If there's anything I can do in MD or phone calls or anything like that, let me know.

I'm in and willing to try to get Country Chrysler in Oxford to pitch in. My wife bought her jeep there and I also have a friend who works there.
Let me know the details as they get closer

i will help i will be in dover that time of year so let me know what i can do.

as before - i'm willing to help out in any way i can. i can do the flyers around dover at businesses if we go that route. i'd be happy to be on the committee...but i'm afraid my schedule will prohibit making the meetings (or earlier for that matter). so just let me know whatever needs to be done in the dover area.

I am more than willing to help out with anything that is needed. I am not sure what part of DE I will be in at that time, but most likely southern.

If you've stated that you are willing to help out this year, PLEASE make an attempt to be at the August meeting early.

We can have a Toy Run committee meeting at 4pm at the Lobby House just to run through everything that we usually need to get done. It's not time to contact the dealers and such yet, but it is time to get organized!
