Will try to make it to MMV for the run, but won't be able to stay for the party. I have some family things to tend to Saturday evening. Can I still drop off a toy for the collection??

 

Sure can.

See you at MMV.

 

I convinced my better half and we'll be joining you all starting at MoMV. I need to pick up a toy or two and I'm confused (as usual ) What sort of toy(s) should we bring? What age group is the most common that's in need of toys? Something for an infant or something for a hyperactive 7 year old boy? Is there a web site for more information about this toy drive?

 

There is not a web site for this event but it is listed at norcalminis.com with a sign up sheet. There is also a Marines Toys for Tots web site. We get alot of stuff for younger kids, Early teens could use things like CD's and such. I've drained the cell phones power so if anyone needs to call wait till later Friday night so I can charge it.

 

Speednut,

Here is the link to the Marines Toys fo Tots website: http://www.toysfortots.org/

This site will give you alot of information

 

My brother got a MCS yesterday !!!

Be sure to give him a hard time (LOL)

We will be meeting you folks at Concord MINI

And help you all get to Guadalajara (... Grill ... not the place in Mexico !)

My son is going to try to block offf a section of the parking lot for us to alll be together.

 

Sorry guys that I missed this run even though we were signed up. Last night I fell off a draftsman chair, knocked myself unconscious and gashed about 3" of scalp. Spent most of the night in the ER. Got the head stapled shut. Hope to make the next one in my right mind!!!

 

Sorry to have missed you...
and sorry for your injury

That NORMALLY happens AFTER a trip to Guadalajara

 

trico: Hope your feeling better!

B: You won a key chain! And a very nice MINI shirt!

COR BLMY: Thanks!

LarryP: Good run!

Happy Holidays!

 

Here's wishing you a "speedy recovery" Randy! We missed you and Meredith both at the run and party.

Thanks to Brian, Carol, Larry, Tammi, and everyone else who was involved in the TFT run for making this holiday affair and absolute blast.

Thanks for the good run LarryP. That was the first time for me on that part of Calavares road. Had to take off once we got to east bay mini.

 

It was great to meet all of you! Wish we could have gone on to the feast but had too many "to-do's" Thanks for the fun ride and festive way to start the season!

 

Thanks to all that came out. You guys are awesome . Thanks to Eastbay Mini and Concord Mini for the refreshments and raffle prizes . Once again East Bay Mini donated a peddle car . Sorry to here about your head Randy. Don't forget that Concord, East Bay and Mountian View Mini will be collecting toys till the 17th for our toy drive. Have a Very Merry Christmas and think about all those smiling faces Christmas morning . Larry and Tami

 

Travis and I enjoyed meeting you all. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed the ride from MINI of Mountain View to East Bay. However, we had to break off from there as we too had some other commitments. Hope we can stay longer next time.

Great photos Jim! Thanks for sharing them!

 

Thanks for the great pics . I had to pick up the toys today. We had to get them into Santa's system early due to the large amount . Santa has some older elves doing the wrapping and they didn't want to overload them at the end of the month. We will still collect them for a couple more weeks. Thanks again to everyone.
