2008 MNSOC Toys For Tots Toy Drive and Cruise

This was fun, thanks for organizing it.

liquor store santa ftw!

 

it was fun!

 

Fun indeed.

not one or biggest outings, but it will be the biggest impact on others!!!

 

yeah, thanks for organizing it. loads of fun. made me feel good.

 

Great turn-out!

Thanks for the pics!

 

Good stuff. Wish I woulda been there instead of at the inlaws in Packerland... The Liquor Barrel is my main LLS.

 

sorry I could not make it hope the toy I gave arrived with chet looked like a blast.

 

Looked like a good time. Love the graphics on your car jason!

 

darn I wish I was there

 

Thanks to everyone who participated and all who organized! It was good to see everyone and give to a good cause.

 

Looks great, guys! Glad everyone had a reason to get out in the snow for a good reason, and arrived safely.

 

good job guys.. looks like a great turnout for the weather.. bummed I couldnt make it but I was basically driving from Jordan to waterville to jordan to burnsville to Bloomington to MOA to Old carriage Road to Jordan again... yep.. when you offload the kids for a day you dont let the weather stop your chances to get stuff done...

Again.. Great Job

 

Fine work, gentlemen (and women).

This should become an annual tradition thingy -- and if so, maybe announce it a bit earlier (wife & I donated a ****load of toys to the same cause earlier in the week).

 

out of the 18 cars. 4 were foresters. 3 04's and 1 09

 

One of those was actually an '05

 

Inlaws in Packerland!? That's exactly where I was, lol.

Anywho, thanks to all that participated. This is the kind of stuff that car clubs should do. I feel all warm and fuzzy now

 

thanks to everyone that participated, good to see good hearts. I wanted to try and make it out there, but i was doing a timing belt and had no car

 

yeah, next year we want to give a large check,
(large as-in 2' x 4', ROFL)

 

can you make those??? I have always wanted to take one into my bank to cash it. lol

 

I make them all the time.

 

AFAIK. as long as something has all of the required information for a check (routing number, number/written value, signature etc...), it is valid and can be taken to a bank. They might not be so happy though.

 

Sounds like it was a great turn out, I just couldn't justify dragging the kids out in the weather, I will be donating the toys we got still.

 

I understand this is a super old thread but I've noticed lots of end of summer and clearance sales at target walmart etc...And started thinking that It would be nice to buy more stuff for my dollar and stock up now.

Just an fyi as I hope we are gonna do this as a group again. I was really impressed how well we did last year and would love to see an even bigger turn out this year.

 

This was an awesome event last year. I'd love to do it again too!

Plus the looks we got as a big caravan of (mostly) hood scoops was priceless.

 

Cant wait!

 

Bielke make it happen!!

 

I would be happy to help again, just let me know.

 

I can talk with readymixx and get the details for it. If he doesnt have time to plan it again.

 

I was one of the behind the scenes guys last year, so let me know what you need.

 

I can help as well, just tell me who... I mean what to do.

 

here, I'll plan it.

Meet at the same place on a certain day, and caravan to the kare11 tent. ZING! done.


really though, I'd love to do this again. it was a fun time. let me know if I can help at all.

 

This was Jason Thunder... I dont wanna steal it. But i'm more then helping to be there and help.

 

2009 Collection Dates - December 4 - 21
Tent Hours - 8:30 a.m. - 10:30 p.m.


I'm going to sign us up to make a drop off during a newscast. anyone not want to do that?

 

Missed out last year, would love to be a part of it this year though! Count me in.

 

I stopped and bought a whole bunch of clearance toys today. We may end up taking the Forester and the STi this year.

 

Here

anyone want to make a new thread about this? I doubt that using the one from 2008 is going to help anyone.

*edit*

Aww. I just told him this, he says he'll get it setup like last year, but next year you guys are on your own since we won't be here

 

We're doin it fo' the shorties yo

 

Jason, are you going to set it up so we deliver during a news cast??? Or just the same as last year and just get there when we get there?

 

Going to try! This would help get the MNSOC name out there
