Last year there was only a handful of us who donated and we still ended up with over 600 lbs and a 3rd place finish behind the Subie and Lx forums, so if we can a good dozen of us or so this year i think we'll have a good chance to win, and all donations are going to the Volunteers of America. id like to keep the details of what i have in the works away from prying eyes, so hit me up for a good cause if interested. thx

Here are the details of tis years food drive.

VTR's Annual Holiday food drive starts Oct 2nd!

Here are the rules: Each forum will be given a designated area for there donations. On November 20th the saturday before Thanksgiving we will transport all of the donations to the Everett VOA for the weigh in. The forum with the most donations gets on the perpetual plaque in our showroom. Last year we had just under 4000lbs combined for all forums. Lx forums won last year.

Recommended items:

Canned foods
Dry food
anything non-perishalble
Here are some other items recommended on the VOA website.

Baby essentials, including diapers, baby wipes and formula
School supplies and backpacks, leading into school
Summer camp equipment and supplies
Holiday toy and gift drive
Shoes and boots - anytime!
Household and laundry cleaners, toiletries and feminine personal hygiene products

This is for a great cause and the VOA last year said we were the 2nd largest non corporate donation brought in.

Time to dig deep and help those less fortunate than us.

Thanks
Wayne

Here is an update on the food drive totals.

Subie 50lbs

Evo 30lbs (you had more at this time last year...)

LX 700lbs (estimate)

Last year we donated almost 4000lbs total, we need to break that record!
