Anyone attending the TOY RUN Okay guys I know there is two different runs that are going on in the next couple of months. Both of these are multi forum meets. This is what is going on. I am just going to copy and paste these so bare with me.
In the wake of the recent Katrina Hurricane catastrophe, the amount of support and help has been phenominal and to tell you the truth, anyone who helped should feel toasty warm inside because you did agood thing and I applaud you.
That being said, I fear that the Pacific Northwest will be faced with a similar travesty, hunger.
In response to that, I am asking that you help me fight hunger here at home. It doesn't take much to make sure those less fortunate get something to eat this winter season and we're going to make sure we have a good time helping people too!
What: Drive Away Hunger
When: October 22 2005 starting at 10:00am
Where: The starting line will be at the Park and Ride at 272nd Street in Federal Way. (it's right off the freeway and very hard to miss) The end line will be the NW Fish Food Bank located at the Fircrest Presbyterian Church.
Why: Because charity starts at home.
I am on my knees begging you to please spread the word about this event and to pour your hearts onto this event. I know its hard and I know we are tapped out from life and our own day to day lives but there are those who dont even have a car to drive to the store to buy the food they cant afford. We cannot sit by and let people starve.
Not that anyones need incentive but the largest club or group donation will get a prize as well as the largest single donation.
This one is for food and there is also one for toys.
November 12 2005
Time: 12 noon
Place: 272nd park n ride. exit 147 off I-5
Bring: unopened toy
TOYS FOR TOTS
YEP. THATS RIGHT! SATURDAY NOV. 12. 12 NOON AT 272ND PARK N RIDE. EXIT 147. GONNA DRIVE DOWN TO OLYMPIA IZZY'S. DROP OFF TOYS AND EAT LIKE KINGS.
This is going to be a BIG ONE. I want to see everybody there. I mean everybody. This is for the CHILDREN that are less fortunate. I don't care what you bring, a hot wheel or a stuffed animal. Just an unopened toy. This will show the community that all the cars are not street racing all the time. This will be an open forum event. I will post on other forums. YOU NEED TO BE AT THIS ONE!
LETS MAKE SOME KIDS HAVE A GREAT CHRISTMAS!

I'd like to do both of these...
What do you do, fill your car up with food and take the cruise to the church? If so, I'd love to do it! I think it's a Great idea!
Anyone willing to donate and can't go I'll except donations on behalf of Speed Secrets, NW F-body and LS1tech. I will fill my car as full as it will get and take it down there and donate.
I think that would be quite a site! Seeing a bunch of us driving through there, cars loaded to the gills...
Only problem is, I don't have the money to fill it up myself
...but with donations anything is possible...
I'll do the Toys for Tots run also, I've always wanted to do that...

I can't wait to do it. I think it will be alot of fun. Besides you get to see alot of other cars as well. Who doesn't love a car show? It is one of the few times people can get together and chat without any trash talking like what goes on online. I will be doing both. Rain or shine I think it will be fun. There was a huge turnout last year. I hope the same thing this year.

hey, thanks for posting this here. this is going to be huge!!!!!!!
41 forums now. need more too. so post it up on others and let us know the link so we can keep track. the web page http://home.comcast.net/~nwtoyrun/forums.HTML has been updated. so see you all there!
the toys will be donated to the TOYS FOR TOTS program here in wa. last year with the war it was hard for them to come and pick up the toys, so a local auto dealership Roters in olympia donated a truck and dropped them off for us.

I'm sorry I didn't make it. I really wanted to, but I just have too much going on in my life right now.
For those that are wondering, My grandmother passed away three weeks ago., My cousin just passed away today after accidentally overdosing on drugs 2 weeks ago, and another cousin went on a hunting trip in idaho and wrecked his new cummins deisel truck! My cousin was ok, but one friend broke his neck (will be ok) and another broke his nose...
and that's just the tip of the iceburg...
