Would there be any interest in a luncheon/toys for tots collection here in Owosso at Ponderosa? They have a decent luncheon salad bar and I had talked to the manager last spring about MOC gatherings. He was fully supportive and even said we could use the back conference room which will seat 45+ people. How about Dec.12th, enough time prior to x-mas to get the toys to the marines. If there are enough people interested, I will go set it up at Ponderosa.

This sounds like it would be fun. I haven't been to a Ponderosa in a looong time. Toys for tots is a great idea and you can also bring any clothing donations as well.

As long as I don't have to work the wife and I will be there. If we can use the conference room it would be a good opportunity to hold a meeting as well.

Great idea Warchild!

I will check with the manager at ponderosa and verify a date and time. Tentative will be Dec 12 or 19, depends on availability. I'll post it as soon as I can. I will also contact the local toys for tots and see if they can have a rep join us and collect the toys. As for the clothes, I don't know who handles that locally. Maybe let the local salvation army store get involved?
Ideas???

Sounds good, I'm looking forward to eating there again. Hopefully I don't have to work.

For the clothing drive I planned on collecting as much as possible and then personally delivering it to the homeless and needy at a couple of shelters in Detroit. Hopefully I can get a couple of volunteers to help me with that.

I didn't know that you guys settled on a date yet. It looks like it would only be a few of us for this event anyway. I don't think I'd be able to make the trip to Jackson next weekend as we have a couple prior commitments in the evening.

Hopefully we can have two very successful events on the same day.

Sorry Y'all, I didn't know about the Jackson march. Should I re-schedule for the 19? That date is cleared with the manager also.
