I know everyone is super busy around the holidays.. but i was thinking..... every year for the past 21... West Coast 4 Wheel Drive Club has been putting on a event around Christmas called "Toys 4 Tots 4 Wheel Drive Parade". It was a great event and we attended it numerous years.. but they were basically carrying the project from their wallet. It seems that last year was there final year and no other club has picked up the torch to run with it.

I was wondering how you guys felt about maybe getting together for a meet and greet.. and bringing a $10 or unwrapped toy along with? That way we could do our part in helping out with or without a event.

Maybe we could do a South County meet up, to where it would be in the middle for all to meet.. both LA, OC, and San Diego County.

What do you guys think? Meet for breakfast somewhere one saturday or sunday before Christmas? Only for a bite to eat and run if you need too.. would be cool too. Or give your toy to another member that lives close by you if you won't have free time to come down.

Yosh and I could haul it over to a local Toys 4 Tots donation station with a help of a buddies pickup truck... or heck for our first time.. we probably won't need a pickup.

Very nice. I'd be in, just let me know where it's all going down.

 

[Andrew Walcker]

Dave, nice idea and count me in!

 

[Desertoutpost]

Count me in, toy, some oil and I'll be there!

 

[adventureduo]

Right on! Glad to see you guys want to do this.

Im thinking of meeting at Dennys in San Clemente so it's halfway between San Diego and all the rest of us.

I will post up details ASAP.

Very nice to see you posting this up Dave.

One of the few things that will put my Grinchy self in the holiday spirit is volunteering at the local armory, bagging toys for less fortunate kids. A great reminder of what the season is really about.

Dave, let me know when you are leaving Saturday morning, if you don't mind I'd like to caravan down with you.

Heck yeah i'd like that. Probably no later than 7am from Corona. We can meet down on Green River/91 fwy at say 10 after? 7:10am? sound good?

Are you bring your AT? that would be sweet. Then if we get too many toys (you never know) then we can toss them in your trailer.

 

[Andrew Walcker]

Dave, just catching up on your thread on mud. Just a suggestion, but Pedros Tacos, which is just down the street from Denny's has the BEST breakfast potato burritos. They are open early for the morning patrol surfers so no worries about the timing.

Shoot, I already sent a large email out. Might have to keep with Dennys. Doesnt mean we have to eat there! LOL!

I don't know if i cleared out my PM's or not. I'll fire you over mine and you can do the same.. just to make sure.

On second thought the parking lot there is pretty small. Maybe I'll cruise over to Pedros and grab some food for us
