December 5th!
This Run is for a great charity!
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. 830am. At 9am 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 several items 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 something fun that Kids would enjoy.
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 event for those of you considering member or prospect status as well!

If you are a member or prospect, go check our member section on this forum. The club Christmas party is this same day. Look there for details!

We are in!
As to the gifts to bring, is there a gender or age-group that is underrepresented? I believe I remember something about sleeping bags.

Usually younger girl items are in shorter supply, or gifts that fit both boys and girls like board games or younger toys.

So would maybe youth helmets be a good addition for us to bring as our gifts?

Ok, I finished building all the big wheels for our donation.

It took me like 4 hours! We should have had a build party...
Thanks to my daughter for doing the stickers! Otherwise it would have been an all day event.

18 - 36 month helmets are a good idea as David suggests. 50/50 boys/girls, but more helmets are always a good thing.

One week!! Bring friends and family, and a couple bucks for their raffle and snacks. It's all for Christmas promise!
Everyone be sure to sign in under our club!

Our club makes a club donation, and each member brings a gift. Some items take longer to build, like bicycles one year. Then our club shows up with a pile of toys and wins a bunch of raffle items!

For first timers, bring a chair and a blanket, along with cold weather clothes for sitting around. We bring RC cars usually.

As usual, our boys have a Boy Scout training that day. So, we will be there for the morning festivities but have to leave before the raffle.

Brad does do his fair share around the club here behind the scenes. It's a thankless job, but he does it because he loves us...It takes a lot of effort from club officials to keep this wagon rolling. The best way to thank them is to run for office!!

Um...what?

Unfortunately I have to back out due to a really bad head cold and medicines aren't taking care of it. I'll talk to Jill to see if she would be able to show up for the toy run and give her some money for the raffle.
