A
Message from Vice-President Tom Yarber
|
I
hope everyone is getting ready for the Big Day. Make sure to check
over your bike to make sure everything is OK. Safety first. There
are a lot of boxes going out to many businesses, and I would like to say
"THANKS" to those that are supporting this great Organization,
the Marines, and the many children that will have a Christmas filled
with toys. As far as delivering toys to the TFT warehouse, at this
time we do not have any room for toys until after the Run. We are
stocked with product for the Run and we need to delete our stock. We
do not have to have the toys until 1-2 weeks before Christmas. This
gives you more time to collect toys. All of the boxes will stay out
as well until after the Run.
BE SAFE, HAVE FUN, AND BRING A
LOT OF TOYS. BIG DADDY
