The toy drive / Pot luck / ride is Nov 21st. It would awesome if anyone from our club wants to go down and participate in a great event for children. There will be a pot luck again this year with a cook off going on by some of the members so Meat will be taken care of. Bring a side dish and some toys (Toys all go to Toys for tots). This is still a long way off but it does take some planning. So mark it on your Calenders. Brings your quads and or your 4x4's. smokinbarrelbbq.tripod.com/toy_run_flyer.pdf

I need to send out a special thanks. After going to the Pacific Northwest 4-Wheel Drive Association (Region 3) meeting last night I gained a little more support for the toy drive. The PNW gave $100 to Pistons Wild and they gave it to us for toys. How awesome is that. Then another PW member gave me $20. They just wanted the season to be good for local children. I also had all ready received toys from a couple other PW members. So I just wanted to give a SPECIAL THANKS to them.
Pacific Northwest 4-Wheel Drive Association-$$$ Jon Halleaux and family-$$$ Darel & Crystal Crowder-toys Lance & Margaret Schieldler-toys
*** And I also need to give a special Thanks to Brandon Hutchens and Brooke Hoehne for going with me to Toys R Us at 11 PM to hunt for toys. Fun, but not on Friday night after a long Week. Thanks guys. ***

I'd like to say THANK YOU as well. Bill started pulling these bags out of his jeep and they just kept on coming. I'm looking at Bill because he went nuts buying toys. Then he told me where they came from. 90 % went to Doernbecher's, we sent a box to a members Church that has been hit hard with unemployment this last year. Then we picked out a few toys special for a two year old that just lost His parents and both his legs in a recent fire. One of our members is from the fire Dept and was going to see him so toys in hand we sent him on his way. Next year we are doing Christmas in July. Doernbecher's needs toys year round so why wait. I'll keep ya posted.
THANKS AGAIN!!!! Terry. (President NW Quad riders)

Thanks Terry for writing back and finishing the story of where they went. I always like to hear that kids will have a good christmas even if it is just a toy or two.
