I hope everyone is well,

Justin

A couple fo updates:

We now have about half the club's toy run donations.

Remember to sign in for you plus your entire family when you arrive at the event, including any friends you bring (under the Gold Hills Posse 4x4 Club).
Remember to bring one new unwrapped toy to donate per vehicle that arrives. We will meet up in advance and carry all our club's items with our individual items and delivery them at one time.

Gettting close!!!

Is there a theme? A main gift type the club is donating that the members may be able to supply sub gifts or additional piceses for?

Some times we do scooters and ask the club to pick up helmets for them. This time we found a great deal on a youth blanket set.

Getting general toys are a hit. Girl items are especially nice since most toys seen are for boys. That's why we bough pink and purple scooters last year.

We still have more club run donations to buy. If we finde bikes or scooters on black friday we may need helmets. So if you can hang on until Saturday we will post what we ended up with.

We have most of the raffle items too,

Reminder!

The event is this Saturday!
830 meeting time at McDonalds, hwy 50 and Hazel ave.
Then we will head over to the Folsom aquatic center.

Be sure to bring a toy per vehicle. Our club has a club donation as well!

Please sign in under our club, including everyone who was in your vehicle. This gives us a club count for our representation.

Everyone is welcome to arrive and depart based on your schedule. You don't have to attend the whole time. Many people sign in and drop off their donation, and then depart. It's all good since the goal here is to give back this holiday season for those less fortunate.

It should be a fun vehicle brigade!

Is there still anything specific we could pick up for the gift or should we just buy something for a girl?

looks like a chance of rain Sat.

How about pop ups for the event? Thoughts? Club pop up? Extras?

Bummer! If I had known that before Black Friday I could have snagged a 12x12 for 70 bucks as a club replacement. Maybe we discuss this at the next meeting and vote on the expenditure?
