2008 MNSOC Toys For Tots Toy Drive and Cruise

Just to add to this I am down in the rochester area one to 2 times a week for work. I am more then happy to grab toys when I am down there.

Steph, I am not trying to rain on your parade, just offering help that wont cost us gas money. (it is my way of making my company contribute. lol)


Beth works this day, But I will be there for sure. Lets see if we can load the forester full of toys!!!!

 

I shall be there. :wiggle:

 

I'll be there for sure. If we think we need it I can pull the trailer as well.

 

was thinking this myself....

will have to check the schedule and see I can round up some peeps to donate..

 

I will for sure be down with the get down! FTW

 

Well, I work at a beauty store part time and we get alot of younger girls in there buying makeup, nail polish, hair things and that sorta stuff. Bath and body works has small gift sets. Probably things like that. (???)

this is very helpful. It doesn't say anywhere on that site that makeup and bath gift sets are not allowed - so I think that's perfectly acceptable. You can call the organization to get clarification, too, if you want

 

I have a box at work that has a few donations. I'm glad I reached out to my co-workers. they're into it.

 

WOW, one of my coworkers came through!
2 big grocery bags of toys were on my desk when I got in this morning!

 

I have 4. Do you think they would take vid games?

 

I'll get some DS and GBA stuff then.

 

I will see if anyone at work wants to donate.

 

I'll be there!
I also just printed out a flyer for my co-workers.

 

My girl is getting some donations from her co-workers as well. I have 20 toys as of now, and I havnt bought mine yet or recieved all the donations from people that said theyre going to donate.
This stuff makes me get in the spirit.

 

Any other west side people interested in meeting up before and cruising out together to this event?

 

yes.



also rochester folks. if nobody is coming up I will be down there tomorrow and can pick stuff up. as of now it is the only day I will be down there.

text me tomorrow if I need to swing by someplace and get stuff.

 

ok lil miss 2002.5 and i are in 100%

now should we bring one car or two?

 

your call.
There will probably be enough other cars there for you to bring one car.

 

Where are the west side gangstas going to meet? Gridlocked I can meet you over at the Lifetime on 5 and then roll out to meet Bill (I'm guessing in EP)

 

sounds great

 

Given that we're starting at 10am, one would think it would be better to do breakfast ebfore or lucnh after.

 

I'll be there by myself with the tribeca!!!! got plenty of room for toys.

 

We've got a small collection of goodies that we'll be packing into the Forester.

 

I miss being a kid... all those fun toys in the toy aisle...

 

You can buy toys for my child....

 

This sounds like an awesome first outing with the subby people. Me and the family will definitely be there!! I have a 12 year old daughter and a 10 myear old son I think I will have them pic something out.

 

or me.



Golie and ted, I can meet you at the mall.... say by jcpenny's

 

How about we meet over at the Chipotle/Bus station parking lot, we'll be cruising down 5 or 312 into EP.

 

I've only got a couple items, but I'll be there Saturday. I'm looking forward to seeing a good turnout and hopefully some new faces.

Thanks for organizing this.

 

anyone from the EP area meet up with me friday night? I should have a few toys to hand off. I can't make it saturday as I have Car Care for Church.

 

Dave,
PM me and we'll do a xchange.

Works for me.
What time you thinkin?

 

OK

I will be at Firestone on Friday to collect toys from people who can't make it. I will not be able to go on Saturday either

So if you can't make it Sat, please try to bring your toys to FS - we will have a box for collecting them.

 

nooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

thx ted.

 

What is this?

 

that is fine with me.

bring them over. call when your on your way.

 

Church Car Care - 3rd Saturday of every month we help families in need. Car Care is held at Victory Auto (Firestone type garage) in Brooklyn Park. Families that need work done on their cars but cannot afford the repair at a typical repair shop turn to us. They only need to pay for parts (at wholesale cost) and we provide the free labor.

The group is comprised of approximately 5-7 volunteer mechanics. We will do a whole variety of repairs from the basics to the complicated.

It's our way of reaching out to the less fortunate and helping where we can.

 

Cant wait, I got some garland for my snowboard rack. I know its cheezy, but I dont care.
