2011 MNSubaru Toys for Tots Collection and Cruise

if I'm not working down here in Mankato I'm in again.

 

I'm down. For a meet-up location, there's a Cub on Hwy 100 and 36th St. in Crystal that's not too far from Kare11. They have a really big lot, and the west side of it is always empty (next to the gas pumps).

 

You know, meeting closer to the destination would probably be a good idea. I'm sure many of us remember the slick snowstorm we had to drive across town while trying not to lose the convoy of subarus as well as not crash into each other. Maybe a shorter drive would be easier.

As Jason said if you can't make it to the dropoff event and still want to donate a toy, I'm in Blaine and can collect/deliver toys if that helps. Hell, if you make it worth my time(toys not gas/time compensation)I'll drive clear across town to pick things up.

 

I am working on getting the time off work. 98% sure that I will get the time off.

Got me a wagon so I can hold and bring gifts as well. I am located in the SW metro and would be willing to meet near that area if you are not available to come that day.

EDIT: I also have room for two bicycles (top mount carrier) if anyone is generous enough to donate a bike.

 

I will be attending this event. I am from Rochester, so if anybody in SE Minnesota wishes to contribute but can't make it PM me or text me at 507-923-3125 and I will gladly deliver your donations to the event

 

Im IN how does the walmart in Midway sound for a meet up easy on and off to 94?


I work in Plymouth, live in St. Paul, I am willing to meet people who are not able to attend and pick up toys.

 

I plan to attend this gathering again.

 

Box going up at work this week!!!!!

 

I will be attending as well, I live in the Ramsey area if anyone from north metro can't make it but would like to donate I would be happy to meet up and grab donations to deliver.

 

^^^^^^^^ YES!

 

Where was that? Wait, let me guess. Fat Nat's?

 

Do they serve ETOH?

 

Breakfast afterwards again sounds like a great idea!

 

I'm in for breakfast again! Sounds like a good idea.

--- Sorry, stupid computer didn't show my first post. So I tried again. Now they are both there. My bad. Any of the mods can go ahead and cancel one of them.

 

I will be at this......

 

I've been a shopping fool this week. Lets go crazy with the toys this year!

 

So, are we going to meet-up at the Cub on 100? Or is it still being discussed behind closed doors?

 

Good question. Sadly, Nothing has been being discussed behind closed doors lately( between moderators/event coordinators and whatnot anyway)

 

my box goes up at work tomorrow... I had to get approvial for excepting donations. WTF

 

Sophia & I are in forsure... we may take one or both subarus if we need extra cars for "show"

 

One car is probably best unless it's needed for hauling. The KARE parking lot is pretty small and fills quickly. In fact if possible carpooling isn't a bad idea rather than 20 cars dropping off 25 toys.

And if it's not clear yet, Katie and I will be making the annual trip again.

 

I wasn't sure if this was a T4T drive or a Subaru drive to bring our donations to KARE 11... We will be in the LGT with a few boxes of toys.

 

ok box is up at work and getting filled....slowly but filled!!!!! The Cub foods off 100 is fine for me!!!!

Plan on going out as well and buying a few toys myself! turing the wagon in to a sleigh!!!!!

 

Lots of co-workers bringing giftcards... They are accepted correct??? Or do I have to go spend them on toys for the tots???

 

Yeah I checked their web page with no clear answer.

 

Sounds like I have a lot of shopping to do... over $100's in gift cards already. My work use to do a T4T drive but this year did something different.... leaving all my departments generosity for me to drop off

Thank you to my employer

 

Umm, I was talking about the Cub in Crystal, on Hwy 100 and 36th St. North. But if you want to meet up there instead, that's cool. The Cub in Crystal would definitely be easier to get in and out of, though, since you can see it easily from Hwy. 100, and there isn't much traffic on 36th. Either location works for me!

 

Looks like it's OK to donate them but that leaves someone else to do the shopping, Assuming you can find the time, I'd go ahead and do the shopping ahead of time....maybe buy some bigger stuff?

From KARE11 website
What kinds of toys are needed/accepted?
Toys are distributed to kids from 0 - 16. Typically, there is a shortage of toys for infants and teenagers.
Gift cards are accepted, but are not distributed as gifts. The Marines take donated gift cards and purchase gifts for the program.
Typically, the average gifts are in the $30 range. However, toys in all price ranges are accepted
