Hey dudes-
It's that time of year! Last year was a great success and I'm sure this year will be great as well. We will be visiting Sutter Hospital again, and they are very excited to have us back. I have already made the arrangements, all you have to do is show up.
Date is Dec 19th (third Saturday) We will be having 2 toy drop-offs this year. See details below.
-9:00am Breakfast at Perko's Cafe
(formerly Bradshaw's) near Hwy 50 and Bradshaw. Perko's will reserve parking for us like last year. Address is 9647 Micron Ave, Sacramento, CA 95827
-11:00am Toy Drop-off #1 to benefit Sutter Hospital pediatric department at 5151 F st.
**Toys must be new, and not gift wrapped.** Toys can be stuffed animals, play doh, anything from newborn to age 18.
The hospital did express a need for the following:
-Current children's movies on DVD
-Fisher Price Dr. Kits
-Infant mobiles, rattles, & crib toys
-Don't forget stuff for teenage boys & girls
The current plan is for us to use the physician's parking lot in front of the hospital, with a possibility of parking in the front entrance like last year. (I'll know more as we get closer, the hospital just needs to confirm about parking in the front entrance.) Address is 5151 F st, Sacramento, CA.
-1:00pm Toy drop-off #2 at St John's Shelter for Women & Children
Address is 4410 Power Inn Road, Sacramento 95826. See post #17 in this thread for more details.
A few things to keep in mind:
-Santa Hats/antlers/elf hats required!
-This is a rain or shine event!
-Please post your commitment & how many people attending. This way I can track the numbers for the restaurant.
Thank you in advance for your participation. This really means a lot to the kids and their parents.
So... time to get the "count me in" list started:
Attending: 2
Bringing: 4 toys
Please reply accordingly.
Thank you,
Justin
