Default D/FW Toys for Tots run.... Do we have one for LS1Tech?

There is a Toys for Tots ride every year for the motorcycle guys. Do we have one for us? If not, who would be down for one? Of course Id like to do one for LS1Tech members and their respective cars but wouldnt limit its participation to just us... Every year the local riders strap some toys to the back of their bikes and do a convoy all the way to downtown Dallas. Id like to do the same.... Anyone game?

Well, I have no idea... I figure maybe we can to it at the Palladium? That seems to be a good place to do it.. They hold RiceKiller meets there... Do I contact the Toys for Tots people and just tell them to meet us there?

His name is Jared and his website is Ricekiller.com.

He would know how to throw something together. If you wanted you could find out a drop point and if there is a decent size parking lot we could ask if we could park there and hang out. I assume it will be near a month though before my car is ready so I am probably out on this deal.

Hope it helps. This could be a good thing for ls1 tech and rice killers, seems there movement could use a positive movement and not all the rice ****. Palladium meetings cancelled, to much bs.

^ I emailed 9Ball and he said that was in Houston? If theres one in the Dallas area, where is it? 9Ball also said we can do a gathering on behalf of LS1Tech but they cannot be responsible for or attached to it.

I tried to do a Toys for Tots carshow at Massey caddi last year 2 people showed up we had the whole lot cleared and was asking for a 1.00 toy to get in. Jared Trys to help people but I know last year he was busy and couldnt help me much. Massey even paid city of garland for a permit and paid to advertised on the radio.

If you get it going count me in.

Yea, I know.... I got a message asking me if I wanted to do the ride this year but I sold my bike so I thought about doing it for Tech.... It will probably end up just being a hand full of us but next year Ill start much earlier.
