Default ***San Diego Toy Drive 12/10***

I'm not sure if anyone else listens to AJs Playhouse (93.3) in the morning but pretty much they're holding a toy drive for Children's Hospital. I donated last year and saw a couple car clubs going there to drop off a large amount. The goal of this year is 60,000 toys. I figured it would be pretty cool if we were able to roll up and donate some toys all together.

I know, I know. Everyone is on a tight budget because it's christmas but you can even donate a DVD you don't watch anymore, NEW toys, or anything that you would have enjoyed when you were a kid. I've posted this on MY.IS and there will be a couple people joining.

Here's the info from the website:


AJ'S KIDS CRANE 2006
Before we know it the holidays will be here once again, and this year AJ will once again raise toys for the patients of Rady Children’s Hospital-San Diego in our fifth annual “AJ’s Kids Crane”!

AJ will once again live in the parking lot of IKEA in Mission Valley starting, Thursday, December 7, 2006 and will not come down until he raises 60,000 toys for AJ's Kids! He will eat, sleep, broadcast live (and even go to the bathroom!) from the top of his Kids crane!! We also have toy drop-off locations at various L & L Hawaiian BBQ restaurants all over San Diego County.

You can also get more information @ http://playhouse.clearchannel.com/ajskidcrane2006.html


Edited Info

When: Sunday December 10th, 2006

Time: 6pm (after the charger game)

Where: We can meet in the parking lot of Fry's electronics. When you come into the parking lot, make a left and that back corner is usually empty.

We will leave promptly @ 6:15pm and drive to Ikea to donate the toys/gifts

After we donate the toys, we can all go out to eat somewhere.. ANY SUGGESTIONS?!??

I listen to AJ's playhouse every morning and was going to go make a donation myself, but if we can get a bunch of CL members together and make an appearance, that would be awsome. I'll show up if we get a good following.

So far, there's going to be 4-5 of us from the my.is site attending and i'll be bringing some other friends along.

I talked to my bestfriend about it and he was thinking about rallying up the Evo people together to see who can bring more toys? I dunno.. what do you guys think?

Yeah, that'd be cool if we can get other car clubs in on it as well. The more the merrier.

Okay so Club RSX of SD was invited by one of the other members on my.is.

Here's the thing, since the game will be ending around 5pm, do you guys think there will still be traffic in the mission valley area around 6:30pm? If so, did you guys want to change the time of the meet up or just eat first then cruise down there?

Well, it's mission valley so there's always traffic, lol. but by 6:30, most of the heavy stadium traffic should be gone by then. Whatever you decide will work for me.

We're sticking to the schedule of meet @ Fry's 6:00pm and leave 6:15-6:30pm. So far, we should have about 10-12 people to be going... that is, if nobody flakes.

I'll see you guys soon.

I regret to inform that I'm going to be one of the flakes this time around... I've already got my gift (exo-force lego set) but i've got a movie date and the movie starts at 7pm
