EMANUEL CHILDRENS HOSPITAL TOY DRIVE-PORTLAND
OK guys, heres the information on the Emanuel Childrens Hospital toy drive for this year. This is probably the most moving event you will ever attend. Family Fun Rod Club started it some years back and Mustang Wranglers got invited 2 years ago. Our first year we had around 25 mustangs and around 25 Hot rods. Last year we had close to 45 Mustangs and around 35 hot rods. This year I would like to blow the lid off of this event with more that 60-70 Mustangs and more than 100 cars total. (yes Jesse, even corvettes) haha. You go out and purchase a gift for a child, boy or girl, 1 year to 18years old, dont wrap it, and we put it around a large tree in the lobby of the hospital. Then the gifts are taken up to the children. You can go help deliver if you want to. Some people cant do it. You might also think about getting something for mom or dad (lotions or perfume for mom and slippers for dad). These gifts are for kids that are really sick or terminally sick and have been in the hospital for along time. Sometimes mom and dad dont have time to buy gifts for the kids, let alone for each other. Come join us and make a difference in some families lives. Its Saturday, Dec 8th. We are meeting at Portland Meadows between 10:30 and 11:30 and will be leaving at 12:00 noon with a Portland Police motorcycle escort down MLK Blvd to the hospital. A bunch of us are going to meet at Elmers Pancake House at Delta Park at 8:00 am for breakfast before hand. You are welcome to join us. It would be great if some of the folks who frequent Stangnet NW forums in the local Vancouver and Portland metro area and some of the businesses in the Mustang Hobby would join us for some mustang comraderee and help make this a great Christmas for the kids. Hope to see you there. (this is a rain or shine event) Dave Webster - President - Mustang Wranglers of Oregon.
