2009 Toys for Toys meet and drive
This info is from Kokomo (organizer for Toys for Tots drive last year).
Informational Meeting- please attend to represent your car club
Date: September 19th, 2009
Location: Airport Starbucks (by Big Kahuna's)
Time: 7pm (maybe one hour)
Toys for Tots Main Event: November 28th, 2009. Times are TBA
Drive to Kaneohe Marine Corps Base for toy drop off and maybe event with live music.
Someone needs to go if possible to represent your Fit club.
No obligation to participate or attend, just to get your input and feedback and hopefully your club's support.
Last year the Oahu Car clubs met at Kapolei K mart parking lot in the morning and drove over to Kaneohe in small groups to drop off toys on the Marine base. The Marine commander liked the participation so much he offered to make it bigger this year with entertainment for the car clubs on base.

OK, I went to the meeting tonight.
Had about 10 clubs represented.
:v tec:
The Fit club and others are invited to participate.
The goal is to provide toys in support of Toys for Tots (not toys) and drop them off at Kaneohe Marine Corps Air Station.
Nov 28, 2009 Saturday.
Meet up in the parking lot at Kmart Kapolei from about 9 to 1130am Buy toys for Kmart in Kapolei that morning to support them and for thanking them for allowing us to use their parking lot. No little deal because other locations turned us down.
Pick up military passes for the Toy drop off on Base from the event organizer before we leave in waves by clubs from 1130am. Drive any way you want and arrive at the base with passes after 12 noon. Show your pass but have your ID, registration, insurance ready but it's likely you will be waved on by if you arrive in clubs. About 250 to 300+ cars are expected. You will be given a map of where to go at the gate and head over to Hanger 1.
The marines will have-
Large area for parking- you can find a place and park by club
Free music by the Marine band
Food for sale made by Marine staff/community service volunteers
Clothes and souvenirs for sale supporting our troops.
We will have a Car show and shine- show off your rides.
Maybe a raffle for all those who drop off a toy- pick up a ticket in exchange for your donation.
Stay at Hangar 1 until 3pm then the event ends.
You are free to drop off the toys and go your own way but you can't just drive around on base.
You are responsible for watching all the speed limits and laws getting to the base and while on the base.
This is a completely volunteer and low budget event that benefits the kids.
Thanks for any support you can provide.

See if a few Fit owners want to meet up at Keehi Lagoon and go for the drive and drop off. Any toy is fine and plenty of sharp cars to check out until about 1030am.
A lot of people just park and walk around like a car show and check out the cars as they come in and go out.
Plenty of Hellaflush cars. Big car clubs as well.
You can drive anywhere then meet at the Marine Corps base as long as it is before 3pm.

This event is coming up soon so don't forget to mark the date.
Lots of cool cars at Keehi Lagoon. Worth a look if you can make it and donating toys for a good cause can't hurt.

Some changes-
All clubs not going to meet at Keehi Lagoon.
Individuals and some clubs could meet but parks dept wants less congestion
Clubs will be given passes for entering KMCAS for Nov 27, let me know if you need some. I have it and can make copies or send you a copy.
The vehicle pass for the upcoming car show for participants are to be put on the dashboard and shown at the entry guard gate. There is a great lineup of entertainment for that afternoon -- four different bands playing! MCCS will have their food and drink tents set up, as well as a souvenir tent for people who want t-shirt and ball caps. Main gate opens at 11 a.m. that day, and the event will end at 3 p.m.
