2011 Toys For Kids - Toy Run
« on: August 02, 2011, 11:24:22 AM »
Hi there all,

Richard here from the Four Wheel Stampeders.  Plans have begun for the 2011 Toy Drive for Kids.... details are a bit slim at this time, but things are rolling!

Just thought I'd update the general public on our plans.  I'll have more information after our next general meeting, but for now... I'd just like to know how Saturday December 10th works for everyone?  

I will soon add all the details of this event... just need to get a little more preliminary planning out of the way.

Thanks for your support!
-Richard  (2nd VP - Four Wheel Stampeders)

The guys and gals here at the CJA would be proud to help in anyway possible to make this year's Toy Run a success. Apeman( Aaron) and his girlfriend really stepped-up last year when the Four Wheel Stampeders couldn't pull the event off. We also had a lot of help from Gherra and CT4WD. I'll be in contact with Aaron and the president of CT4WD to see what we can do to make this year's Toy Run even better than last year.

Feel free to PM me for more contact info and details please.

Cheers,

Noel

Glad to see CJA on board again!

So how does that date work for everyone here? I know that one year I planned it on the same day as an annual CJA campout and there was some complaints about that. Any conflicts with the 10th?

Let me know if there is anything that I can do to help.  I would be more than happy to have a collection bin in the shop!

As Noel indicated Jesse and I will be co-ordinating everything again this year. Thankfully we have the luxury of more time,and will get the details worked out by end of september. The date seems to work with us,but we would need final confirmation by november 1st.
Anyone wanting to pitch in cam pm me.
Thanks to everyone and other clubs doing their part also.

Rich/Clay/Aaron - just keep me in the loop as to what date you settle on, and I'll make sure it ends up on the "official" CJA Calendar.
I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(

Hi there... Looks to be Dec 10th Wins.   If the Camping trip can be worked around that would be awesome, I hope this can work out.

I think you can post this to the calender as you had indicated.
I will supply the details as they are finalized.

Thanks everyone!

I will see if I can get a Best Buy store or two on board with this again this year.  10th should be fine for me.

Im sure I can also get bins set up at the 3 Memory Express locations here in Calgary as we did for the food drive. Should be no issue. For helping out, Ill be there if I get the day off. However asking for days off here in December is not easy... Being one of 3 managers during the Christmas season my time is stretched pretty tight through the week... Will help of course as I can :)
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...

Cool!  Many thanks!

Do you know Ryan Donnely?  I believe he is a new hire at Mem Express.
