2016 Toy Run
This is it, THE OFFICIAL TOY RUN ANNOUNCEMENT !
Dust off your caps, clean out your carbs, lube your axles…whatever it takes. It’s time to round up some toys and join friends, new and old. When: Saturday, 8 am, December 17 Where: First meet at Perko’s for breakfast, then caravan over to Sutter Medical Center Sacramento What: Toys and Santa hats, and lot of ‘em! As usual, the Hospital requests that we bring unwrapped stuffed animals, play doh, current movies/music, Fisher Price doctor kits, infant mobiles, rattles, crib toys…Remember, there are kids from infants to teenagers. But please, no guns, knives, swords, small balls or other choking hazards. Remember, this is a RAIN OR SHINE event!!! If it comes to it, you’ll be able to park in a covered garage, so your baby won’t get too wet (your wife might be able to stay dry too) Map to Perko's https://www.google.com/maps/place/96...4d-121.3374456 Map to Sutter Medical Center https://www.google.com/maps/dir//282...8!2d38.5702615 |
Sorry Guys, I had a much fancier version of this announcement prepared. But after several hours of futility, I gave up and went to bed. Someday, someone can explain to me why uploading files is so *%$#@# difficult.
HAHAHA, or was that HOHOHO. Well, the important thing is that we all get there, all have a good time, and do something meaningful for someone else. |
Again, we are in and thanks for your hard work on getting this set up.

Ron,
I received a few inquires from five or more attending who've not replied here yet. And, a few ex-Cobra folks with 60s Vettes asked about attending too if more gifts are welcome.:) We may get a decent turnout of Cobras this year. I'll be there rain or shine, either way. |
Duane,
I can't speak for the entire group, but if ex-cobra folks and drivers from the dark side would like to attend, I'd happily welcome them. There should be plenty of room for everyone, so I don't see a downside. Come one, come all as far as I'm concerned. |
Ron, small chance Alan (Photoguy) and Marc (SkidMarc) with their late 60s Vettes will attend, but just in case... Thanks.
|
Add One Cobra.
Thanks For All The Fine Work.... Sue And I Will Be Their With For All The Fun. |
Looks like a beautiful weekend. Add Murray and Jennifer and one Cobra
|
Hi everyone, count me in too (i think i remember where I parked the Cobra) :LOL:
|
we are ready to go! count us in, Michele and I
|
Unfortunately, Maria and I are out. I took the car out for a drive and it just quit, completely dead. It did start but then repeated the same thing a couple times. I looked it over, including putting it on the lift but didn't find any obvious problems (like loose wires, etc.) so I'm going to have to spend some more time troubleshooting. I think it's unhappy with me for not driving it enough. :) No way I can get it done by Saturday... bummer.
Have a great time, guys. We'll be in again next year. Merry Christmas! Rob |

Also,
Don't worry if you don't have a car...I won't be driving a cobra, a GT or anything at all exciting. Heck, you can even come driving an import! We'd still like to see you, and the kids can still use the support. At worst, we may make you park on a different level in the garage. :) |
Toy Run
Thanks for setting this up Ron. No snow last night, so Pam & I will be there with as many toys as we can get into the trunk and Pam's lap.

What time are they expecting us at the Hospital? Thanks! |
Ok, GUYs,
Tomorrow is the day. I've checked in with Perko's, and they are ready for us at 8 am. Sutter is excited to see us around 10 am. We'll go in parking lot B, up to the second floor, and they will have reserved plenty of spaces for next to the bridge to the hospital. I know its going to be cold, but at least it will be dry. See you all bright and early!!! Bring your hats! |
Thanks, Ron. This will be the first year we know someone who is in Peds as a result of Cystic Fibrosis. Looking forward to tomorrow and will be dressing very warm! :D
|
We had snow last night, so can't get 3246 out on the road. We will be there with toys and hats, but hope you don't mind if we're in a Ford Edge instead of our usual ride.

That was a great turnout. Even though we started out in the low 30s, we got lucky today after all this rain. As for all the pics, it might take a week or so but the additional photos and drone video just before we left will be fun to look at after some editing. They guy flying the drone had two twin girls delivered and just happened to hear the roar coming in, came down and started taking shots and had his drone with him - an AF pilot. Pretty cool.
