Hey Everyone-
It's time to dust off those Santa Hats, antlers, and Elf Hats! Last year was a huge success thanks to the efforts of Hoof Hearted (Justin), who has since moved to Colorado. So, in Justin's honor a couple of us (me and BXX1/Ron) decided to fill the vacuum and get this year’s Toy Run rolling. We will be visiting Sutter Memorial Hospital again, and they are very, VERY excited to have us back. I have already made the arrangements, all you have to do is show up with the toys.

Date is Dec 19th (third SUNDAY) The hospital has requested Sunday, rather than Saturday due to staffing issues.

-9:00am Breakfast at Perko's Cafe
(formerly Bradshaw's) near Hwy 50 and Bradshaw. Perko's will reserve parking for us like last year. Address is 9647 Micron Ave, Sacramento, CA 95827

-11:00am Toy Drop-off to benefit Sutter Hospital pediatric department at 5151 F st.
**Toys must be new, and not gift wrapped.** Toys can be stuffed animals, play doh, anything from newborn to age 18.
The hospital did express a need for the following:
-Current children's movies on DVD
-Fisher Price Dr. Kits
-Infant mobiles, rattles, & crib toys
-Don't forget stuff for teenage boys & girls

The current plan is for us to use the physician's parking lot in front of the hospital, with a possibility of parking in the front entrance like last year. (I'll know more as we get closer, the hospital just needs to confirm about parking in the front entrance.) Address is 5151 F st, Sacramento, CA.

A few things to keep in mind:
-Santa Hats/antlers/elf hats required!
-This is a rain or shine event!
-Please post your commitment & how many people attending. This way I can track the numbers for the restaurant.

Thank you in advance for your participation. This really means a lot to the kids and their parents.

So... time to commit and get the "count me in" list started:
It is important that we get pretty solid idea of how many will be attending for parking purposes.

Attending: 2
Bringing: 4 toys

Please reply accordingly.

Thank you,
Nor Cal Cobras

PS, Here's a pic from last year!

Sorry, Gloria and I will not be able to make it. I am going up to Medford to baby sit my grandson on Dec. 14 where I have been half the summer and fall. Hope to see more of everyone next year.

Thanks, Justin...... but you are the one that got this ball rolling 4-years ago. Hope you and the family are doing well. Utah, huh? Oh well, though it was Colorado.

I have an empty seat on the 19th if you are interested

Take good care my friend.

Hey Guys,

I would really like to get an accurate count of who plans on attending so I can let the restaurant and hospital know how many to expect. So, if you do plan on attending (the kids are really looking forward to seeing us), please take a moment and make your intentions known.

Thanks!!!
