    Ladies & Gentlemen, it's that time of the year again!!

    On Saturday December 5th, the Triangle Italians will be hosting our 8th Annual Toy Drive for the Durham Rescue Mission.

    Our Toy Drive has become the main source of Christmas presents for the boys & girls at the Durham Rescue Mission...so please, be generous! With your incredible gratitude, the kids at the Durham Rescue Mission can have a Christmas that most of us take for granted.

    The guidelines for a Christmas present are as follows:
    - Boys & Girls ages 12 and under
    - Please make sure the gift remains unwrapped

    Our plan for the morning will be as follows:
    - This year, we will meet the truck from the Durham Rescue Mission @ Brier Creek
    - We will be @ Brier Creek from 10:00AM till 12:00 noon
    - We will be parking in the area between Jason’s Deli and the restaurant which used to be Uno Pizzeria then Japanese restaurant (I think the restaurant space is empty at the moment). Please reference the map and the red boxed-in area.
    - Afterwards, we will probably grab some lunch at a nearby restaurant such as Johnny Carino’s, so, please RSVP to this thread by December 1st if you care to join. I want to provide the restaurant with as much heads-up as possible.

    For those in the Cary / Apex / Holly Springs / Fuquay area, we will be meeting @ Leith VW at 9:15AM, departing there around 9:40.

    A very sincere "thank you!" to everyone in advance for helping with this toy drive! We look forward to seeing everyone out there! You guys are awesome!

    OK...slight change of venue. In lieu of Brier Creek, the Triangle Area PCA (thank you Tom Roos!) has offered Porsche Southpoint as the Toy Drive location. As this is their C&C location, it's a perfect match.

    Their C&C starts @ 9:30, we'll have the truck from the Durham Rescue Mission arrive about the same time.

    The address for Porsche Southpoint is 122 Kentington Dr, Durham. Enter from Rolando Dr.

    For those in Cary / Apex / Holly Springs / Fuquay area, we will be meeting @ Leith VW at 8:30AM, departing around 8:50.

    Thanks Greg and thanks to Tom of the PCA. We had a beautiful day and a great turnout last year. Please, everyone join us if you can...if you would like to donate a toy but can't get to the event of December 5, please PM or email me and I will arrange a pick up. For some of these kids at the Mission, these toys are the only ones they get on Christmas.

    There is not. Our family usually budgets $100 and buys a whole bunch of things; Hotwheels cars, basketballs, footballs, games, barbie dolls, puzzles, other toys, etc. Go nuts man!

    In all seriousness, the kids at the Durham Rescue Mission appreciate everything we do for them. If there's a group of kids to be generous with, this is them.

    Cheers!

    BUMP as reminder. Let's break last year's record turnout. Triangle Italians and FCA let's give those Porsche guys a run for the toy count...they won by a big margin last year.

    Greg. is there any way you can get a mod to help you change the first post in this thread so that readers aren't confused with the change of venue to SouthPointe Porsche?

    I'm not a member of either group, but my wife and I would love to drop by and meet the group. I have a 328 and a '78 930, so we'll come in both.

    Best,

    Ron

    Ron...to put you at ease, there is "no members of the group", just a large group of people / car enthusiasts who have a huge heart to give back to those much less fortunate. Thank you for attending. Come early and join us @ Leith VW in Cary (off of NC64) and caravan to Porsche Southpoint with us!

    I had really hoped to attend but I am required to be at work on Saturday. The times conflict too much for it to make sense unfortunately.
