I am willing to organize this again... Last time it was short notice and we had a good turnout.
-
Yep, I think we should make this happen.
If you need a hand with anything I will help when I can.
-
Aaron - you are the MAN!!! Can you and Dom reach out to the other clubs and let them know the CJA is stepping up?
Gun - can you also please let your contacts know as well? We can't forget the kids! We will discuss more at this months meeting.
-
:)
-
I will shoot you a pm later Gun. Thanks again.
-
Aaron, keep me in the know so I can help when I can please.

-
Count me in on this, definately down.
-
I want to be involved in this. Let me know what i need to do or if any help is required. :)
-
Hey folks even though i am new to the site i would be interested in coming along
-
I'm just getting the location booked,most likely bowness like in prev years and will announce the date early next week.
Thanks to all the people volunteering
-
Aaron, are you sure Bowness Park is fully open ? They were doing a lot of construction in the park this year .
-
thats what im trying to find out. Whether or not the site we had will be available,or any other site will be. should know by tomorrow.
-
With construction on both the lots and bridge, I will be speaking to the powers that be at Edworthy Park. They also have the amennities we require,and the drive to ACH is still doable with a large convoy. I will be in touch with ACH tomorrow and follow up with updated info. I will also list items needed,and we will need our resident poster maker to whip something up.
-
I posted on abjk and I know a bunch of others would be glad to be part of this.

This sounds like a great event! Is there a page / post somewhere that gives more details about what you're looking for, what happens, how people can help out, what to do, when & where, etc?
I found lots of posts from people who wanted to participate but no "main" post or event page.
-
It will be updated monday. Just waiting for confirmation from our venue and ACH.
-
Need to get the date set. Looking at dec 8th,day after teddy bear toss, and doesn't conflict with winter camp. So far we are looking at either Baker park across from bowness or Hexsters parking lot. I will have an update monday with when/where and what we need from volunteer standpoint. Looks like we have alit of interest from other clubs, so the turnout should be amazing.
-
i will be there if this goes down again this year.
-
Aaron - CJA has committed $500 to the run.
-
great! looks like we got the nods from ACH for the 7th or 21st of dec. and just waiting on confirmation of booking our meeting point. If anyone has the ability to redo the xmas run poster so we can start with donation boxes?
-
I will take a look and see if I still have it...
-
I'd love to show up and help out ! Where do I signup and what's involved exactly, as Ive never been to the Toy run before
-
Yes same for me. What is the next step in the process. What can we do to help at this point
-
both of those dates are Fridays????
Thanks for saving this at such late notice.
-
Ooops should be the saturday. My mistake :-[
-
I'd like to help as well. 403. 966. 6051

Please post where/when volunteers are needed. I was unable to make it to the Nov meeting :(
Thanks Everyone.

**UPDATE**
Toy Run is scheduled for DEC 8,2012 at Baker Park on the NW side of Bowness
Meeting at 12:00 , we should be on the road to ACH by 2pm.
Volunteers are needed for set up around 11am. Also need volunteers to get the posters out and boxes placed/picked up the day before.
hopefully we can get an updated printable version of the poster ASAP.
This is pretty short notice but we will do the best we can.
Any questions feel free to shoot me a PM
Thanks to everyone for a great cause
-
I'll help anyway I can, got truck or cargo van for the boxes and ill definately help with setting up.
-
Here are the posters. Please feel free to download these and print them off. These will print off on 11x17 no problem. I think it's about a buck a poster a Staples.
One poster is meant for boxes. The other is the invite to come out to the event.
I also have TIF versions - PM me if you want those instead
-
Yikes, not much time. Gunna have to push hard to get a good stash of goods.
Going to try and get a donation bin in all the Rona stores, also will try and get my wife to put one in her Best Buy location too.
-
We have a donation box set up at The Gear Shop for anyone in the NE/NW area.
Bay 14 1431 40 Ave NE
- Also, I had noticed on the poster that it says "a hamper for a family with a child". Does that mean that we're looking for more than just toy donations?
-
right now the main goal is getting the boxes out,anywhere you think might help. Easy as printing the poster off, putting it on a box and getting them out. All toy and cash donations will be accepted, this is mainly for the kids remember.
Volunteers are needed still for the drop off and pickup of the boxes. Even in the short notice,i think we can still accomplish our goal.
-
We could use a box at E-mortal please.
-
I've got a truck as well, so could help do a box pick-up-run.
Is there a list of locations for these boxes? It would be useful info to provide with Facebook msgs, Tweets, etc to people asking them for donations.
-
If we can get a post up of locations of the boxes currently, so i can arrange pickup on the friday evening, it would be most helpful.
i sent pm's to a few people looking to volunteer for set up. thanks to everyone.
See everyone saturday! Might be chilly but should be a good turn out.
-
I have donation bins being setup in the Westhills and MacLeod trail Rona's. I have also confirmed a $200 donation from the Crowfoot location.
I can pickup the donation bins from these locations on Friday night.
-
Aaron, i can not attend the run as o work and by the time i get out of my clinic and back to that area, you guys will probably be done. i would like to donate to this event. Who do i make the cheque payable to?
If there is anyway someone attending the event can come by my clinic Friday (8-noon and 3-6pm) or Sat (open at 9am) and grab it that would be great.
Let me know.
i am located in Avenida plaza (where the Tim Hortons is) for anyone reading this that could swing by to pick up the cheque.
See everyone at the xmas party later 8)
-
@Spinalguy, I'm not far from there and will be running around most of Friday anyway so I can pick it up if you like.

Thanks for the offer but it looks like Vinman is coming in for a tune up.
See ya tomorrow Vince
-
Is there a planned wheeling trip for after the run?
-
Not usually... and the club is having its Christmas party that night.
-
I picked up another xbox360 today,and dropped it off to hen mclaren, along with lego star wars,and 3 kinect adventure games.
We donated 2 xbox's last year also so any kids games and dvds are a great way for them to pass the time. Please no kinect games. I can explain later.
Thanks for everyones support,I look forward to seeing a good turnout tomorrow despite the weather.
-
see yall tommorow
-
Blew up the throw out bearing or some clutch fingers (not sure which) but won't be going anywhere fast today. I hope this event goes really well and I look forward to seeing photos.
-

-

keith
-
:)
-
I know we (FWS) have tried various ideas to keep the interest up for attendance. A pancake breakfast was organized by Richard and his wife Andrea last year and held at a community hall and it seemed to turn out quite well. The pancake and sausage breakfast raised a good chunk of change to be donated to the recipeint last year.
Hey Gun, how many guys from FWS showed up this year?
-
:)
-
naw, i had to work and could not get out of there until 1pm.
-
Hey folks, when everyone was packing up in the parking lot to head up to the Children's Hospital, somebody grabbed the two folding tables to return to the owners. Can that person PM me to let me know where those are? They haven't been returned yet.
Thanks!
-
Got it. Pms were sent.
