This is our clubs 10th year donating toys and raffle funds to The Highlanders Toy Run For Christmas Promise.

We will meet at the McDonalds near Hwy 50 at Hazel Ave. 730 am. At 8am we will caravan over to the folsom aquatic center and line up along the far right side of the parking lot. There is a Starbucks across the street if you need coffee or hot chocolate to get you going!

This year the club will be purchasing large stuffed animals and scooters to donate. All that is asked of attendees is you bring one new, unwrapped gift valued at $5 or more. Club members are encouraged to bring a new safety helmet that we can pair with the scooters. But anything you bring will greatly help the cause.

This event has an attendance award for clubs so be sure to sign in under us for credit! We won attendance last year! Also. There is a raffle for the cause which is fun as well. They have food items and a Santa for the kids too!

First timers can partake in the parade or bring RC cars to play with during the parade time. Camping chairs and warm dress are encouraged for the fun. Blankets help as well.

this event happens rain or shine!

The toy run counts as an agent for those of you considering member or prospect status as well!

We probably won't get up early enough to make it for the caravan but we'll be there.

Fountain Family will be there,

If I can't build it, then it's something that should be bought.

We will be at the Toy Run but probably won't make the McDonald's meet-up.

I used to wheel a lot. . .

This will be a new one. We've had cold, rainy and windy weather in various combinations but I don't recall having snow for the Toy Run before.

It it snows, it will become the most awesome toy run ever! How fun is that? It's like a Road Patrol and charity event all in one! We need Bob's big trailer fire pit! Too bad he isn't around!

Well the raffle was a bust for us. The numbers weren't even close enough to get excited about. Oh well, maybe tonight.

We did win the Participation award again!

Nice work everyone who attended!! Now that things are settling down, we'll (Ronie and I) get the opportunity to be more involved.
