This sounds great...........does it have to be canned goods only.........I have a lot of food you know boxed stuff.........canned stuff...........and is there anything else they could use............my friend lost his home down there...........he worked his whole life for that little house...........he is living in the attic of the garage /shop with his family till he can buy his Uncles farm south of there..............I would like to help.........I do not have much as we jsut got dumped on with $40000 medical bills,but I will help...........

 

No it doesn't have to be canned goods you are right. I'm sorry they just have to be Non perishable food items.

Here is a list I found on a red cross site.

Cool Zane, did the drive a few years ago, had a blast, and this is for a good cause, will try to make it, depending on work load.

 

Cool added you to the list.

 

About a month away.

 

I just might have to be sick that day.
I only have 5 days where I get to call in sick..I have to give 3 weeks notice for vac hours..

 

I will try to make it.

BTW I live on Highway 6 (same highway as Rainbow Falls), If you need someone to check out roads if you still want to try to hit some down here let me know. Or need help moving the route I know most of the roads in the county.

BTW This is a great idea as there is some serious destruction around here.

In case anyone missed it on my flood thread,

There are 600+ pictures there.

Thanks. I forgot all about your guys meet up Calendar of events.

I have an online calendar set up for NW Events as well.

It is a central place that everyone can use and add events to a Calendar.

NW EVENTS CALENDAR <---Click

 

I'll add your calendar link to this event's listing.

If you ever have events you'd like me to cross post on the meetup let me know anytime!!! Ours is turning out to be less of a Scion-only calendar and more of a multi-make listing of various types of events.

 

still deciding if i wanna go...

 

Little far for me, GL tho!

 

Sorry, won't be able to make it now..

We have a cooking class to go to.... Yes I did say cooking class

 

hey guys. I just bought my tC a couple of hours ago and found this site. The drive sounds like an awesome idea so I will do my best to get the day off from work.

 

Hello Shiznami! Welcome to ScionLife. There are many of us that live here in Auburn!!! Check out the calendar of events at http://scion.meetup.com/30 to see what's going on in the area! Congrats on the new tC!!!!!!!

 

bump for a fun drive, was just checking the date, I will not be able to make this after all. I don't know how I missed the date, but I will be sitting in the grandstands at California Speedway watching roundy-rounds, Go Kasey Kahne.

 

Have a great time. Hope fully next time.
