Cool!  Many thanks!

Do you know Ryan Donnely?  I believe he is a new hire at Mem Express.
He's a friend of my wife....

Hes one of my CE Sales reps! I quite enjoy working with Ryan actually. Hes definately good at what he does. You can rest assured this store will have a bin set up.
I did a Google search for "hot trannies" but nothing came up about oil coolers  :o

Worrying too much about mpg with a Jeep is similar to worrying about your sister's virginity. An ok thing to be concerned about but...

I would love to be part of the convoy and I can see if I can get some donations from the  company I work for ...  No promises as they have their own charitable group, but I will do my best.  Also my wife works for a a school that may be willing to set up a toy drive box.

Look forward to the experience!

I've gotten confirmation from the Best Buy in Northland Mall and West Hills to setup bins.  They will be up by the weekend.

Word back from Richard (SmilinVamp) -  he would like to know how many people to expect from the CJA to the event on Saturday the 10th.  So far we have 14 on the vote counter.  Please put your vote in if you plan on attending.

There is also a request to bring some electric griddles to the event.  If you have one, please bring it along!

Yup, if you can lend an electric fryer, please let me know.   PM me please.

Also, just wanna get a general head count to see how much seating is required.  Thanks!

IMPORTANT EVENT ANOUNCMENTS;

Richard here from the Four Wheel Stampeders in Calgary.

I have some additional information about the Toy Run on Dec 10.

Westjet has graciously donated two airline tickets to our event.  I believe we are going to have these available at the event for silent auction.  Please bring cash if you wish to participate in the auction.  Money generated from the auction of these tickets will be donated to the Mustard Seed. 

Q107 FM Classic Rock Calgary has expressed an interest in helping us out.  Their level of involvement is to be determined.  I hope we can generate a lot of publicity with their help.  The more people we can get to come by, the more Toy donations we will have.

Speaking of which:
Some very innovative businesses around Calgary have set up donation bins in their stores for us.  So, for those who may not be able to attend the event, you may find a location nearest you to drop off a toy or two.
 
These locations are:

** Memory Express – 3 Locations –
The SE store is located at
120 - 58th Ave. S.E.

The NE store is located at
3333 - 34th Ave. N.E.

The NW store is located at
167-5005 Dalhousie Dr. NW (Dalhousie Station)

All toy donations will be accepted during our normal business hours. Monday to Friday from 9am - 9pm, Saturdays from 10am - 6pm and Sundays from 11am - 6pm

** BestBuy – 2 Locations -  in Northland Mall, and West Hill

And of course don’t forget to decorate your Rig for the contest!

Thanks for your support, hope to see you on the 10th!
-Richard

Hi there,

The Mustard Seed had specified in their letter - "age neutral and gender neutral" items... but I think that's a bit hard to follow.
I think they mean for example, board games, books, that sort of thing.... we will accept anything though.

Thanks for your inquiry!

Richard,

I have finally heard back from my company (we deal with a lot of charities, so they are very behind this time of year) and are willing to donate!

I have sent you a PM with my contact info. Please give me call at your earliest convenience.

Thank you,

Kyle
