Default Portland Toy Drive Event Tues Dec 12th

Hey guys, I am setting up the details for our event, but here is what I have so far.

Toy shopping spree at the Fred Meyers at Interstate and Lombard in North Portland. From there we will drive down to Swan Island and make our drop-off at the Marine base where Toys for Tots is stationed.

Anyone that wants to join us for the shopping event is welcome. I am negotiating a discount at Fred Meyers so we can get more toys for our money and they will be opening a dedicated register just for us. I will assign each person an amount to "buy" and we will all meet at the register, check out, and load up.

Give a shout if you want to join us! It will most likely be a 6PM event, but more details soon.

Hey I hope I can make this! Don't have my staff's schedule for that week yet so I'm not sure when I'm needed, but I usually work early on Tuesdays... hope to see you all!

OK guys, here is the schedule:

5:45PM meet at the Interstate Fred Meyer at I-5 and Lombard in the NE parking lot. At 6PM we will go in, meet the store director, grab shopping carts and start shopping. The plan is to get out of there by 7PM and then head down to Swan Island to drop the toys off at the Toys for Tots office.

I would like to see 5-10 Scions show up for this event. C'mon guys, its only a week away!

Yeah, the event isn't going to take very long so I would hate to have people drive 3-4 hours round trip from Seattle just for an hour-long event. I mean, if you want to come down then by all means you are invited, but it seems like a lot of driving! Don't we have 5-10 Portland Scion owners that can participate?

I want to do this, but with working swingshift and already taking a few days off that week for some other Scion related business, I don't think I can make it but will post up if things change.

Maybe I can get someone to cover me at work for a few hours, that might work, need to start bribing people now, lol.

It's a ways to drive from The Dalles after a day of work. I'm not sure I could even make it there by 5:45.
But, if there are too few Scions there, I'll see what I can do.
