    I'm probably the only one confused here, so, for my benefit, can you please be specific where exactly the drop off spot is for those of us who decide to bypass the drive and go directly to the drop off spot/car show?

    Your earlier post states "The terminus point is the Greenville Salvation Army."

    What is the address for the terminus point for dropping off gifts before proceeding to the car show?

    Well, the weather forecast is getting better, only a 20% chance of freezing rain and sleet. Still COLD, but that's no issue as long as there's coffee and hot chocolate :D

    Don, like Frances said, what's the actual drop off/pre-car show point?

    Thanks

    Do they want the presents wrapped or unwrapped? I've done a few of these and some of them prefer one way or the other, usually unwrapped so they can match the gift with the appropriate recipient.

    8-12 year old group is most in need.

    Unwrapped donations.

    Battery operated toys OK, but make sure you donate the batteries.

    The collection spot is at the church where the truck will be for the local donations. We are meeting at the S.A. and then go enmass to the church with a S.A. vehicle. But that spot (the church) is for the weekend drive. THAT IS WHY WE ARE OUT THERE ON THE WEEKEND! They are completing their drive on the 19th. If you wish to go there on your own I suspect it is OK to drop off at the S.A. on King St. I will call Melissa and verify that with her. All of this has been planned in advance to run as smoothly as possible. There will be available space in some cars so we can take people's donations that do not wish to do the run. I just need to know so that I can arrange for pick up of those donations. We may also have a chase vehicle in the event there is an overload.

    UNWRAPPED GIFTS!

    I hope that answers any and all questions. My phone number is posted, I can be PMed on this board or e-mail [email protected]

    I probably won't hang around for a 'car show', even if I do the drive (which I plan to at this point). I'd rather just drop the toys and go.

    I just got off the phone with Melissa at the S.A. in Greenville. She said that a drop at their facility would be OK. She is there in the morning and the afternoon. There should be someone there on Saturday. I am doing a finalizing of the run tomorrow, if you want I can pick up any donations and take them with me tomorrow. So, because time is short call me if you want to exercise this option.

    For the people who want to go to Greenville, the S.A. address is 4601 King St. Their number is 903.455.1875. I don't know how to post a map so you are on your own for that piece of info.

    I believe this is the last update list on cars. If you are on the list can you confirm or cancel. If you are not on the list can you sign up-don't want to leave anyone out! I am going to do this even if it is wet-BUT NOT if it is icy. So I will make a late Fri.PM post, once I consult my Tealeaves concerning the weather--right now looks like rain is out on Fri, MAYBE rain Sat AM, cold weather off until later.

    Don 2, I hope

    Made a run to Target last night w/ my 10 year old. He picked the presents. We wound up with soccer balls (big surprise), a basketball, an electronic dart board, and some wind up wheel thing.

    Let's hope the weather holds.

    As of right now I have these people coming from SupraForums.com:

    Jeremy - 200SX
    GotToyota?
    TT4U2NV - Ean & Guest - Supra
    GotTurbos? - Jon - Prelude

    Plus Don, myself, and my guest, but those are already listed here.

    There is one more possibility but at this time I will leave him off the list. 3 guys had to cancel due to the early morning time unfortunately.

    Regards,

    You know, it's hard shopping for kids when you don't have a clue :D

    I have a bag o' random stuff. According to the 5 AM weather dude on Fox, the rain isn't going to be an issue. Still, I think I'm going to RainX the windshield.

    See ya tomorrow at 0-god-30 AM at the park.

    Hopefully, someone close to you will respond but just in case - I'm kind of far from Plano (Mockingbird/Preston) but if your class in the a.m. happens to be towards downtown or if you are heading out this way this evening, I'd be glad to take them.
