Mike Madsen has nailed down our charity specifics and we have sent the information to Paul Gillespie for emailing and to finalize this year’s flyer. We should all be getting one or more emails soon. Thank you to Mike and to Paul.
Toys delivery will be Saturday, December 14th at 11am at PCH. With Dr Duc’s (Bruce Nelson’s) permission we can gather at his office as we have done previously. Perhaps lunch after?
Per our usual tradition we have selected a charity to support again this year. For 2019, that charity will be the Phoenix Children’s Hospital. Unlike some previous years where we donated the wagons, this year we are donating TOYS and GIFT CARDS. The PCH folks have specifically asked that we focus on TODDLERS and TEENS since they tend to get ignored in favor of the 4-12 yr olds.

Here are the details:

• We will make our donation on 14-December (time TBD between 10:00-11:00 AM)
o We will head down in our Cobras plus I (Mike) will have a pickup for carrying the toys
o Meeting point for the trip over to PCH will be decided < the 14th – we will meet and caravan down together.
• Bring your gift/card to the X-mas party on 7-December, or if you prefer, bring with you for our dropoff on the 14th
• Focus on Toys and Gift Cards for Toddlers and Teens
o The attachment has a link to a “wish list” for each group.
o If you donate a gift card make it in denominations of $10.00
o If you donate toys, they need to be new, unwrapped toys in their original packaging…
o Things to avoid
 Toy guns or anything associated with war/battle
 Latex balloons
 Candy, gum or any kind of food
 Scary/violent toys or action figures
 NO stuffed animals….
 Nothing used…

Again – we will collect everything on the 7th if you want to bring it to Ron’s place for the X-mas party, OR you can just bring it with you on the 14th, and I will publish a rendezvous point for our caravan down on the 14th as we get closer to the date….

Will post more later CC permitting.
