Four Wheel Stampeders announce the 2009 Toy Drive! Dec 12!

[cLAY]

Once again this Christmas the Four Wheel Stampeders will be hosting a Christmas Toy Drive. Things this year will be a bit different. We will still be collecting unwrapped toys for charity(this year's recipient will be the Cerebral Palsy Association) but instead of doing a convoy we will be holding a Poker run.

For those who havn't done a Poker run before here is how it works. There will be checkpoints spread around Southern Calgary that you will need to visit and collect playing cards from. As well you will recieve one card for decorating your vehicle and another for bringing an unwrapped for the Toy Drive.

Once you have collected all your cards, return to the Braeside Community Hall and turn them in. In the end whoever had the best Poker hand wins first prize. Prizes will also be awarded to best decorated vehicle. Following the Poker run there will be a HOT lunch available for $3.

So to sum up:

When: Saturday Dec. 12, 10am
Where: Braeside Community Hall 11024 Braeside Dr. S.W.
What: Toy Drive for the Cerebral Palsy Association
Poker Run
Vehicle Decorating Contest
Hot Lunch($3)
Who: The Calgary and area 4X4 community(this means you!)



Hope to see you all there!
