    Anyone else interested in doing a toy run event for a group of kids this year?

    I missed doing it last year. It would be nice to get back to doing that again.

    There is a Children's hospital on Henry Clay. Just a suggestion.

    I know the people over at Childrens'. sounds like a great idea. I already have a meeting with them the week after thanksgiving to discuss computer stuff. I can easily step into the marketing department and set things up..

    I can also contact toys r us. Or maybe some pleace else since they are always so busy. I suggest a Sunday too.

    Yea- Sunday afternoons work better for me too.

    Sounds like a plan Kelly. I could find us a place to eat or have a coffee afterwards if you have time.

    ToysRus is ok & the location is good. They always took care of our group. You can pre buy stuff and just show up with it also.

    How about Sunday December 17th at 11:30AM. Toys R Us, Children's for 1PM Lunch at Ponchartrain Point for 2PM. I can set it up where we have a private room for lunch.

    I'll contact the State Troopers and see if they can get us to the hospital.

    A pretty good waitress too.

    Children's Hospital and Ponchartrain Point are all booked for the Toy Run. Children’s Hospital really has their act together. I have a complete list of what is acceptable to give as gifts.

    If you are interested in donating money or participating, please contact Paul Wehmer, Franco Valobra or myself.

    I'll meet with the Toys R Us folks next week.

    Sounds great. Thanks for the updates!

    I doubt my car will be fixed by then. If not I'll just show up in the rental!

    And yes, I have decided to go with River Road Collision, so maybe my car WILL be ready :)
