2010 Toy Run

[Knox]

Johnny were you able to get a bin at Modern and/or National to put in Bins to accept donations for us?

Apeman can you confirm that there are bins at all the Herbal Magics or some specific Herbal Magics. If so which ones?

AstraX can you confirm the Northland Mall Best Buy does have a box now? Any others?

Candice on the morning show on X929 will be mentioning the Toy Run on a few of her news casts all next week.
And the Out there Events page will have a write up about it once I send Ginette the list of locations the public can donate if they want.

Spinalguy do you want your clinic included? If so can you give me the name? I have a left over poster I can drop off some day if you'd like as well.

[Spinalguy]

It would be easier for me to accept donations versus trying to convince some other business. i am located right next to Tim Hortons.
i would take the poster

Modern Motors will collect donations for the run as well:

they're open every day but sunday i believe. their hours are on their website www.modernmotors.com

[AstraX]

The donation bin at Best Buy is going to be on the floor today.  The store manager has also agreed to do a "jean's weekend" for the staff, so if they donate a toy they get to wear jeans at work this coming weekend.

I have also gotten a couple other stores to donate some items, and I'm working on some of the others.

Which best buy is holding the jeans day and taking donations?  I am looking to buy a new tv and will send my business their way and aslo let them know I for one appreciate what they are doing for the community.

Sure we (Bonnie) can do it. No problem Al. 

I love being volun-told... no worries.
Did we want the two Wiis again this year, or a bunch of smaller items??

[FiEND]

I didn't see consoles on the list but console games and accessories for wii / PS / xbox.
nhl games etc.  ones that don't require subscriptions? 

$50 ipod shuffles, itunes music gift cards if they have them....

whatever, i'm just guessing.  a trip to walmart electronics center won't take long to spend.

[Rodjock]

This is what happens when I read things late in the day.  'System Games (xbox, Wii, etc)' is not the same as 'Gaming Systems'

UPDATE FOR TAX PUPROSES


for those of you accepting donations, or are asking companies to accept donations (like Modern, Toms/Spinalguy, etc)  i've attached the donation from the ACH for tax reciepts. obviously if you're donating at the actual event we can take down the info there too, but if someone wants reciepts this is how to get them from the ACH.

also, if you are accepting cheque donations, they can be made out to the Alberta Childrens Hospital, and in the memo part put 'Shared christmas'

cheers

Just one question.  Are we restricted on the color of lights we decorate our Jeep with?  I've got some multi color and red ones.
