In
a letter I received thanking all of us, a top representative of
the California Highway Patrol Chips For Kids Program stated:
| “The
number of toys donated surpasses what we normally have donated
for the entire season. What we especially appreciated was
the quality of the toys sent to us. The children of our Area
are very impoverished and the toys will be very much appreciated.”
|
What
a great quote, we generated more toys than they normally get their
entire season, and with a state-wide campaign! Also note, that
statement was made the day after the show, they had no idea that
we had thousands of more toys coming in!
If you can visualize, at the show we filled a 20 foot moving truck,
a Caltrans Dump truck and a full sized pick-up truck! What an
amazing day.
Please
note that next year’s event will be on Sunday Dec. 2, 2007.
Same location. If you have any suggestions please email them to
me (d@motor4toys.com). Also, please mark the calendar and inform
your club so they can put it on their calendar. We will be making
a few changes to make it more fun. We will have “People Choice
Awards” (with trophies) and we will do the raffle and auction
earlier. Our hopes are to double the size of the event and toys
collected.
We
still have event shirts for sale here.
Again, all proceeds will go to buy more toys. They are $15.00
Please buy a couple…..
Also,
a few people were so happy with the event, there are talks of
a summer event for a cause, if you have any thought or suggestions,
please email me.
My
most sincere thanks to all of you. This event is a reflection
of our community and what a great community it is. It could not
have happened with out all of you. Thank you!
All
the best,
Dustin
