Holiday Toy Run...prelim planning

[Igofastr]

Last year at the Shriners was a nice experience, but I think most of us preferred our visits to the old Sutter Memorial Hospital.

Alas, that hospital is no more.

But fear not! The pediatric ward just moved across town into their new digs at Sutter Medical Center Sacramento (an expanded and improved version of Sutter General). As most of you know, the layout of the new hospital is not as amenable to a bunch of noisy old sports cars parking in close proximity. However, WE WILL GET IT DONE THIS YEAR.

I've spoken with a representative from Child Life (the group at the hospital that arranges things like this) and they assure me that we were missed. We're working on a plan with the parking department to get us as close as possible to the kids, so that everyone involved can interact and have the best possible experience.

For the time being, I need us to decide a date and time. December 17th is the third Saturday, and most likely will work for the hospital. WILL IT WORK FOR YOU?

I'd like to meet for breakfast (Perko's?) beforehand. If I recall correctly, we would usually plan on showing up at the hospital at about 10 am. What say you?

I told the Child Life representative that I would get back to her early next week, so it would be nice if you could pass the word on, and please reply to this posting so I have a sense of how it's all going over.

Until then, all the best. Ron
